[AI Q. 7. (i) Write the expression for the magnetic force acting on a charged particle moving with velocity v in the presence of magnetic field B.

(ii) A neutron, an electron and an alpha particle moving with equal velocities, enter a uniform magnetic field going into the plane of the paper as shown. Trace their paths in the field and justify your answer.

Ans.

(i)

(Give Full credit of this part even if a student writes :

F=qvBsinθ

and force (F) acts perpendicular to the plane containing v and B )

(ii)

Justification : Direction of force experienced by the particle will be according to the Fleming’s left hand rule/(any other alternative correct rule.) 1/2

[CBSE Marking Scheme 2016]

Detailed Answer :

(i) A charged particle with charge q, moving with velocity v, in a magnetic field having field strength B, then the forceacting on it is given as :

F=q(v×B) F=FqvBsinθn^

where, θ= angle between velocity and magnetic field

Here direction of force is shown by cross product of

(ii) velocity and xxxxx.

Here, α-particle will trace the circular path in a clockwise direction, since its deviation is in the direction of v×B.

1/2

Neutron will pass without any deviation, as magnetic field, exerts no force on neutral particle. 1/2 Electron will trace circular path in an anticlockwise direction, since its deviation is opposite to v×B with radius r=mvqB.

1/2

It is further observed that the direction of force experienced by the particle will be as per Fleming’s left hand rule.
