JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 7th January Evening Slot - No. 18)

A particle of mass m and charge q has an initial velocity $$\overrightarrow v = {v_0}\widehat j$$ . If an electric field $$\overrightarrow E = {E_0}\widehat i$$ and magnetic field $$\overrightarrow B = {B_0}\widehat i$$ act on the particle, its speed will double after a time:
$${{3m{v_0}} \over {q{E_0}}}$$
$${{\sqrt 2 m{v_0}} \over {q{E_0}}}$$
$${{\sqrt 3 m{v_0}} \over {q{E_0}}}$$
$${{2m{v_0}} \over {q{E_0}}}$$

Explanation

Electric field will increase the speed of particle in x direction.

Fx = qE

$$ \therefore $$ a = $${{qE} \over m}$$

Also vx = at = $${{qE} \over m}$$t

$$v_x^2 + v_y^2 = {v^2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$v_x^2 + v_0^2 = {\left( {2{v_0}} \right)^2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ vx = $$\sqrt 3 $$v0

$$ \therefore $$ $${{qE} \over m}$$t = $$\sqrt 3 $$v0

$$ \Rightarrow $$ t = $${{\sqrt 3 m{v_0}} \over {q{E_0}}}$$
