Question

Velocity and acceleration vectors of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field at some instant are v=3^i+4^j and a=2^i+x^j. Select the correct alternative(s) :

A
x=1.5
B
x=3
C
magnetic field is along z-direction
D
kinetic energy of the particle is constant
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Force & velocity are perpendicular to each other in magnetic field
So
Va=0
(3^i+4^j)(2^i+x^j)=0
6+4x=0
x=1.5
No work is done by magnetic field. So, KE of particle is constant
