JEE Advance - Physics (2017 - Paper 1 Offline - No. 14)
Explanation
Lorentz force on a charged particle having a charge q, moving with a velocity $$\overrightarrow v $$ in a region of uniform electric field $$\overrightarrow E $$ and uniform magnetic field $$\overrightarrow B $$, is given by
$${\overrightarrow F _{net}} = {\overrightarrow F _E} + {\overrightarrow F _B} = q\overrightarrow E + q\overrightarrow v \times \overrightarrow B $$. ...... (1)
The particle will move along $$ - \widehat y$$ axis if (i) initial velocity $$\overrightarrow v $$ is along $$-\widehat y$$ and net force is either zero or directed along $$-\widehat y$$ (ii) initial velocity $$\overrightarrow v$$ is zero and net force is directed along $$-\widehat y$$. A proton with initial velocity $$\overrightarrow v = \overrightarrow 0 $$ placed in an electric field $$\overrightarrow E = - {E_0}\widehat y$$ and magnetic field $$\overrightarrow B = - {B_0}\widehat y$$ will experience a net force $${\overrightarrow F _{net}} = - q{E_0}\widehat y$$. It moves in a straight line along $$ - \widehat y$$.
