In a certain region of space, there exists a uniform and constant electric field of strength E along $$x-axis$$ and uniform constant magnetic field of induction B along $$z-axis$$. A charged particle having charge q and mass m is projected with speed v parallel to $$x-axis$$ from a point (a$$, b, $$0). When the particle reaches a point $$2a$$, $$b/2$$, $$0$$ its speed becomes $$2v$$. Find the value of electric field strength in terms of m, v and $$co-ordinates$$.

Question

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

Change in kinetic energy is only due to work done by electric field. Hence work done by electric field is change in $$KE$$:$$qEa=12m(2v)2-v2$$⇒$$E=3mv22qa$$
