Q.

Three semi-infinite mutually perpendicular conductors are joined at the origin O as shown in the figure.

Question Image

A current 2I enters through the conductor lying along the z-axis towards the origin O and leaves through the other two as shown in the figure. A charged particle having a charge q and mass m is at the point P, rp=(i^+j^+k^), moving with a velocity v0i^

Find the acceleration of the particle.

Detailed Solution

Take wire aligned along the y-axis. Consider a current element at a distance y from the origin. The co-ordinates of this current element are (0,y,0) Hence the position vector of point P w.r.t. current element is
R=r-yj^=i^+(1-y)j^+k^

Hence, B=μ0I4π·dyj^×|i^+(1-y)j^+k^|2+(1-y)23/2
or       dB=μ0I4π·dy(i^-k^)2+(1-y)23/2

Let 1-y=2tanθ

-dy=2sec2θdθ

or dB=-μ0I4πsec2θdθ2sec3θ(i^-k^) 

or By=μ0I8π(i^-k^)θ=tan-1(/  1) 2 -π/2cosθdθ

         =-μ0I8π(i^-k^)sintan-112

Similarly we can find negative field due to the conductor along x-axis as 

Bx=-μ0I8π(k^-j^)θ=tan-1(1/2)-π/2cosθdθ

     =-μ0I8π(k^-j^)sintan-1(1/2)

and the magnetic field at P due to the conductor along z-axis as, 

Bz=μ02I8π(j^-i^)θ=tan-1(1/2)-(π/2)cosθdθ=2μ0I8π(j^-i^)sintan-112

Thus the net magnetic field at P is

B=Bx+By+Bz, and the acceleration is found from

a=qv×Bm; where v=v0i^

B=μeI8πsintan-112[-i^+k^-k^+j^+2j^-2i^]

    =μ0I8πsintan-112[-3i^+3j^]

a=qv0mμ0I8πsintan-112[(-3i^+3j^)×j^]

   =μ0qv0I8πmsintan-112[-3k^]
