Question 11 Mark
Let $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ denote electric and magnetic fields in a frame S and $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ in another frame S moving with respect to S at a velocity $\overrightarrow{\text{v}}.$ Two of the following equations are wrong. Identify them.

  1. $\text{B}_\text{y},=\text{B}_\text{y}+\frac{\text{vE}_\text{z}}{\text{c}^2}$

  2. $\text{E}_\text{y},=\text{E}_\text{y}+\frac{\text{vB}_\text{z}}{\text{c}^2}$

  3. $\text{B}'_\text{y}=\text{B}_\text{y}+\text{v}\text{E}_\text{z}$

  4. $\text{E}'_\text{y}=\text{E}_\text{y}+\text{vB}_\text{z}$

Answer
  1. $\text{E}_\text{y},=\text{E}_\text{y}+\frac{\text{vB}_\text{z}}{\text{c}^2}$

  2. $\text{B}'_\text{y}=\text{B}_\text{y}+\text{v}\text{E}_\text{z}$

Explanation:

$\text{qE}=\text{qvB}$

$\Rightarrow\text{e}=\text{vB}$ By dimensionally b & care wrong

$\Rightarrow\text{v}\text{E}=\text{v}^2\text{B}$

$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{\text{vE}}{\text{v} ^2}$

Question 21 Mark
A charged particle goes undeflected in a region containing an electric and a magnetic field. It is possible that
  1. $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}||\overrightarrow{\text{B}},\ \overrightarrow{\text{v}}||\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$
  2. $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$ is not parallel to $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$
  3. $\overrightarrow{\text{v}}||\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ but $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$ is not parallel to $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$
  4. $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}||\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ but $\overrightarrow{\text{v}}$ is not parallel to $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$
Answer
  1. $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}||\overrightarrow{\text{B}},\ \overrightarrow{\text{v}}||\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$

  2. $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$ is not parallel to $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$

Explanation:

$\Rightarrow\overrightarrow{\text{V}}\overrightarrow{\text{E}},\ \overrightarrow{\text{B}}\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$

In this case Magnetic force on the particle is zero & $\overrightarrow{\text{V}}$ is paralle to $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}.$ So charged particle goes undeflected in a region.

$\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$ is not parallel to $\overrightarrow{\text{B}},$ But $\overrightarrow{\text{V}}$ is parallel to $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}.$

Question 31 Mark
An electric current i enters and leaves a uniform circular wire of radius a through diametrically opposite points. A charged particle q moving along the axis of the circular wire passes through its centre at speed v. The magnetic force acting on the particle when it passes through the centre has a magnitude:
  1. $\text{qv}\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\text{a}}$
  2. $\text{qv}\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi\text{a}}$
  3. $\text{qv}\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{\text{a}}$
  4. $\text{Zero}$
Answer
  1. $\text{Zero}$

Explantion:

As the current is entering and exiting from two diametrically opposite points of a circular coil, the currents in the two semicircular sections are in the opposite direction.

The fields due to the two semi-circular sections at the centre is in the opposite direction.

Hence net feild is zero.

Question 101 Mark
Two ions have equal masses but one is singly-ionised and the other is doubly-ionised. They are projected from the same place in a uniform magnetic field with the same velocity perpendicular to the field.
  1. Both ions will move along circles of equal radii.
  2. The circle described by the singly-ionised charge will have a radius that is. double that of the other circle.
  3. The two circles do not touch each other.
  4. The two circles touch each other.
Answer
  1. The circle described by the singly-ionised charge will have a radius that is. double that of the other circle.

  1. The two circles touch each other.

Explanation:

$\text{r}=\frac{\text{mv}}{\text{qB}}$

If charge of singly ionized = e

Then charge of doubly ionized = ze

The circle described by the singly - ionized charge will have a radius double that of the other circle.

The two circle touch each other because brojected from the same place.

Question 111 Mark
If a charged particle projected in a gravity-free room deflects:
  1. There must be an electric field.
  2. There must be a magnetic field.
  3. Both fields cannot be zero.
  4. Both fields can be non zero.
Answer
  1. Both fields cannot be zero.
  2. Both fields can be non zero.

Explanation:

If a charged particle is projected in a gravity free room with some velocity, then its deflection depends on whether the particle experiences electric force or magnetic force. If electric field or magnetic field is absent in the space, then the charged particle will continue to move in the same direction with the same velocity. Thus, both electric and magnetic fields cannot be zero.

If force on the charged particle due to electric field is equal and opposite to the force due to magnetic field, then

$\text{F}=\text{qE}=\text{qvB}$

$\text{v}=\frac{\text{E}}{\text{B}}$

Thus, if anyone of the two fields is non zero, the charged particle will get deflect. Therefore, the correct option is (c) and (d).

Question 121 Mark
If a charged particle at rest experiences no electromagnetic force:
  1. The electric field must be zero.
  2. The magnetic field must be zero.
  3. The electric field may or may not be zero.
  4. The magnetic field may or may not be zero.
Answer
  1. The electric field must be zero.
  1. The magnetic field may or may not be zero.

Explanation:

Force on charged particle in an electric eld, $\text{F} = \text{qE} \ ...(1)$ 

Force on charged particle in a magnetic eld $\text{F} = \text{q} (\text{v}\times\text{b}) = \text{qvB} \sin\theta \ ...(2) $

Where boldface letter represent vector nature of that quantity, q is charge of the particle, v is the velocity of the particle( if any), and $\theta$ is the angle between velocity and magnetic eld. 

From (1), FE = 0 only when either q = 0 or E = 0. 

Let q ≠ 0, and F ≠ 0, then we must have E ≠ 0 

From (2), if q ≠ 0, v ≠ 0 and B ≠ 0 even then FB can be 'zero' because of θ = 0° or 180°

  1. Towards west.
  2. Towards south.
  3. Upward.

$\text{j}=\text{q}\big(\overrightarrow{\text{i}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}}\big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{B}\otimes$

Question 151 Mark
A charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field. The velocity of the particle at some instant makes an acute angle with the magnetic field. The path of the particle will be:
  1. A straight line.
  2. A circle.
  3. A helix with uniform pitch.
  4. A helix with nonuniform pitch.
Answer
  1. A helix with uniform pitch.

Explanation:

$\vec{\text{F}}=\text{q}(\vec{\text{V}}\times\vec{\text{B}})=\text{qvB}\sin\theta$

Megnetic force doesn't change the speed of the particle. It change the direction of the velocity of the particle.

V $\cos\theta$ provide the displacement of the particle in Horizontal direction & force is provide the centripetal acceleration of the particle.

So the path of the particle will be a helix with uniform pitch.

  2. $\text{E}=0,\ \text{B}\not=0$

  1.  $\text{E}\not=0,\ \text{B}\not=0$

Explanation:

⇒ Particle move with constant velocity in ay direction. So, B = 0, E = 0

⇒ Particle move in a circle with constant speed. Magnetic force is provide the centripetal force that causes particle is move in a circle.

⇒ If qE = qvB and Magnetic & Electric force in opposite direction in this case particle also move with uniform speed.

Question 191 Mark
A particle moves in a region having a uniform magnetic field and a parallel, uniform electric field. At some instant, the velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the field direction. The path of the particle will be:
  1. A straight line.
  2. A circle.
  3. A helix with uniform pitch.
  4. A helix with nonuniform pitch.
Answer
  1. A helix with nonuniform pitch.

Explanation:

$\text{F}=\text{q}\vec{\text{E}}+\text{q}(\vec{\text{V}}\times\vec{\text{B}})$

$\text{F}=\text{q}\vec{\text{E}}$ provides the acceleration in 'x' direction.

$\text{F}_2=\text{}\text{q}(\vec{\text{V}}\times\vec{\text{B}})$ provides the centripetal Force.

The path of the particle will be ahelix with nonuniform pitch.

Question 201 Mark
Which of the following particles will have minimum frequency of revolution when projected with the same velocity perpendicular to a magnetic field?
  1. Electron
  2. Proton
  3. He+
  4. Li+
Answer
  1. Li+

Explanation:

$\text{T}=\frac{2\pi\text{r}}{\text{v}\bot}\ ...(1)$

$\text{r}=\frac{\text{mv}_1}{\text{qB}}$

$\frac{\text{r}}{\text{v}\bot}=\frac{\text{m}}{\text{qB}}\ ...(2)$

from eq. (1) & (2) we get

$\text{T}=\frac{2\pi\text{m}}{\text{qB}}$

$\text{f}=\frac{1}{\text{T}}=\frac{\text{qB}}{2\pi\text{m}}$

Charge of all these particles are same but mass of Li+ is Highest.

 $\therefore\text{ mass}\uparrow,\ \text{f}\downarrow$
