Q.

A non-uniform magnetic  field  exists in  the free space  and  given  as  B→=B0ℓ2x2k^, where   B0  and  ℓ   are  positive constants.  A  particle  having  positive  charge  ‘q’  and  mass  ‘m’  is  projected  with  speed  ‘ v0’  along positive x-axis from the origin. The maximum distance of the charged particle from the y- axis  before  it  turns  back  due  to  the  magnetic  field is D.  (Ignore  any  interaction  other  than  magnetic field). If  D=(αmℓ2v0qB0)1/β, where  α,  β are positive integers then find the value of  α times  β ?

Detailed Solution

Since, magnetic filed and velocity are perpendicular, speed of particle will never change. At the moment of turning back, the direction of velocity becomes parallel to y axis.F→=qv→×B→=q(vxi^+vyj^)(B0ℓ2x2k^)​⇒F→=(qvxB0ℓ2x2j^)+(qvyB0ℓ2x2i^)=Fyj^+Fxi^​​⇒Fy=qB0ℓ2x2vx ​⇒mdvydt=qB0ℓ2x2dxdt ​⇒∫0v0dvy=qB0mℓ2∫0xmaxx2dx​⇒v0=qB0mℓ2  xmax33​⇒xmax=(3mℓ2v0qB0)1/3∴α=3, β=3So, α times β=9
