Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

The vertical distance of the particle from the XZ plane at t = 0.3 s is 15 cm.

Option C

The radius of the trajectory of the particle for t > 0.2 s is 20 cm.

Solution :

The correct options are:
1. The vertical distance of the particle from the XZ plane at t = 0.3 s is 15 cm.
2. The radius of the trajectory of the particle for t > 0.2 s is 20 cm.

Step-by-step Solution:

1. Given Data:
Charge of the particle, q=1μC=10-6 C
Mass of the particle, m=1 mg=10-6 kg
Initial velocity at t=0, v0=i^+2j^ ms-1
Acceleration due to gravity, g=-10j^ ms-2

2. Motion during Phase 1 (0t0.2 s):
Electric field applied: E=1i^ Vm-1
The electrostatic force is along the x-direction:

Fe=qE=10-6×1i^=10-6i^ N

Thus, acceleration due to electric field is:

ae=Fem=10-6i^10-6=1i^ ms-2

Total acceleration in Phase 1:

a=ae+g=1i^-10j^ ms-2

Position along the Y-axis (vertical distance from XZ plane) at t=0.2 s:
Initial y-velocity: uy=2 ms-1
Acceleration along y-axis: ay=-10 ms-2

y(0.2)=uyt+12ayt2=2(0.2)+12(-10)(0.2)2=0.4-0.2=0.2 m=20 cm

Velocity at t=0.2 s:

vx=ux+axt=1+1(0.2)=1.2 ms-1

vy=uy+ayt=2-10(0.2)=0 ms-1

So at t=0.2 s, the velocity of the particle is v=1.2i^ ms-1.

3. Motion during Phase 2 (t>0.2 s):
Electric field is turned off, and a magnetic field B=6j^ T is switched on.
Magnetic Force on the particle:

Fm=q(v×B)=10-6(1.2i^×6j^)=7.2×10-6k^ N

This magnetic force acts perpendicular to the velocity (1.2i^) and magnetic field (6j^) in the XZ plane, causing circular motion in the XZ plane.
The radius of this circular trajectory is given by:

R=mvqB=10-6×1.210-6×6=0.2 m=20 cm

Thus, the radius of the trajectory for t>0.2 s is 20 cm.

4. Vertical Distance at t=0.3 s:
Since the magnetic force acts purely in the z-direction (in the XZ plane), the only force along the vertical y-axis for t>0.2 s is gravity (ay=-10 ms-2).
For the interval Δt=0.3-0.2=0.1 s:
Initial y-velocity at t=0.2 s is vy=0.

y(0.3)=y(0.2)+vy(Δt)+12ay(Δt)2

y(0.3)=0.20+0+12(-10)(0.1)2=0.20-0.05=0.15 m=15 cm

Thus, the vertical distance of the particle from the XZ plane at t=0.3 s is 15 cm.
