Motion of a charged particle
Question

A particle of charge per unit mass α is released from origin with velocity V=v0i^ in a magnetic field B=B0k^  for  x32v0B0α  and B=0  for x>32v0B0α. Then x–coordinate of the particle at time t>π3B0α would be

Moderate
Solution

 

[Step 1]:   r=mV0B0q=V0B0α
[Step 2]:   x r=32=sinθ

θ=600----(1)
[Step 3]:   t0A=T6=2πmqB06=π3B0αqm=α
[Concept]: Therefore x – coordinate of particle at any time 
 t>π3B0αwill  bestep 4:x'=x0+v0 cosθtt0Ax'=32v0B0α+v0tπ3B0αcos600x'=32v0B0α+v02tπ3B0α
