Solution
The correct options are B Radius of curvature of the particle when its x coordinate becomes x0 is 4√2x0 . C Speed of the particle when its x-coordinate becomes x0 is √2v0 . u=v0^j E=E0^i →a=qE0m^i Radius of curvature R=v2a⊥ velocity along x-axis, when x=x0 vx=√2ax0=√2qE0x0m=v0
As there is no acceleration along y axis, vy=v0
Net speed =√v2x+v2y=v0√2 R=(v0√2)2acos45∘=m(v0√2)2√2qE0=mv20(2√2)qE0 R=2qE0x0(2√2)qE0=4√2x0
