Q.

A particle of mass 1×10-26 kg and charge +1.6×10-19C traveling with a velocity 1.28×106 m/s in the +x-direction enters a region in which uniform electric field E and a uniform magnetic field of induction B are present such that Ex=Ey=0,Ez=-102.4kV/m, and Bx=Bz=0,By=8×10-2. The particle enters this region at time t=0. Determine the location (x, y, z coordinates) of the particle at t=5×10-6 s. If the electric field is switched off at this instant (with the magnetic field present), what will be the position of the particle at t=7.45×10-6 s  ?

Detailed Solution

The Lorentz force on the charged particle is
      F=q(E+v×B)
The electric force on the charged particle, FE=qEZ, which acts towards negative direction z in the direction of electric field.
The magnetic force on the charged particle,
FB=qvxBy
As velocity of charge is in +x-direction and magnetic field is along +y-direction. From right hand rule the magnetic force acts along positive z-direction.
The resultant force
       F=FE+FB=qE2+vz×By

         =q-102.4×103+1.28×106×8×10-2=0

During time t-0 to t1=5×10-6 the resultant force on the particle is zero, it moves with uniform velocity vx. The position of the particle X1,Y1,Z1 after time t1 is
X1-vxt1=1.28×106×5×10-6=6.4 m
When electric field is switched off, the particle circulates in xz-plane under the influence of magnetic field. Radius R of circulation is
R=mvxqBy=10-26×1.28×1061.6×10-19×8×10-2=1 m
Let the particle rotate by an angle θ=ωt2-t1. The arc length P1P2=Rθ=vxt2-t1, as the particle circulates for
t2-t1=(7.45-5)×10-6=2.45×10-6 s

θ=vxt2-t1R=1.28×106×2.45×10-61=3.136π radians.
The coordinates of the particle are
X2=X1+Rsinθ=X1+Rsinπ=X1=6.4 m

and    Z2=R-Rcosθ=R-Rcosπ=2R=2 m
Note that θ=π implies that t2=T/2 where T is time period of circulation. We could have written the result directly.
