A beam of light travelling along x-axis is described by the electric field EY=(600Vm1)sinω(txc),  then the maximum magnetic force on a charge q=2e moving along y-axis with a speed of 3×107m/s is (where e=1.6×1019 C)

a
1.92×10−16N
b
1.92×10−17N
c
1.6×10−16N
d
1.6×10−17N

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Amplitude of magnetic field is  B0=E0C=6003×108=2×10−6T( from the given equation,  E0=600V/m)Maximum magnetic force is  F=qvB0=2evB0 ⇒F=2×1.6×10−19×3×107×2×10−6 ⇒F=1.92×10−17N
