A particle of mass and charge is in an electric and magnetic field given by:
The charged particle is shifted from the origin to the point along a straight path. The magnitude of the total work done is:
The charged particle is shifted from the origin to the point along a straight path. The magnitude of the total work done is:
- (A)(0.35)q
- (B)✓ Correct
- (C)(2.5)q
- (D)
Answer: (B)
Solution
A magnetic force does no work because it is always perpendicular to the velocity, so only the electric force contributes. The work is , where the straight-line displacement from the origin to is . With , .
