A block of mass m and charge q is released on a long smooth inclined plane. Magnetic field B is constant, uniform and out of the plane of the paper as shown. Find the time from the start when blocking lose contact with the surface.
Options
- Am cosθ qB
- Bm cosec θ qB
- Cm cotθ qB
- Dm tanθ qB
Correct answer
C. m cotθ qB
Step-by-step solution
Block will lose contact with surface when force due to magnetic field will become equal to mgcosθ qvB = mgcosθ v = mgcosθ qB = u + at ( along inclined plane ) v = mgcosθ qB = ( g  sin θ ) t t =   m cot θ qB
