Question

In a certain region, uniform electric field E=E0^k and uniform magnetic field B=B0^k are present. At time t=0, a particle of mass m and charge q is given a velocity v=v0^j+v0^k. Find the time when the speed of the particle is minimum.

Solution

The correct option is D mv0qE0
Given,
Electric field E=E0^k ,
Magnetic field B=B0^k,
Velocity v=v0^j+v0^k.

The acceleration of the particle,

aE=qE0m (along ve z-direction)

Electric field will make z-component of velocity zero.

At that time, the speed of the particle will be minimum and that minimum speed is due to the other component ,i.e, y-component.

This is minimum when,

vz=uz+azt

0=v0qE0mt

t=mv0qE0

Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
