Electromagnetic Theory

  1. A magnetic field B = ( a x + 2 a y· 4 a z) exists at a point is E, a test charge moving with a velocity, v = v0 (3 a x – a y + 2 a z) experiences no force at a certain point, the electric field at that point will be—

    1. E = −v0(3ax − 2ay − 4az)

    2. E = −v0(14ay + 7az)

    3. E = −
      v0
      (14ay + 7az)
      μ

    4. E = +
      v0
      (14ay + 7az)
      μ
Correct Option: B

B =
(ax+2ay - 4az)

v = v0
(3ax-ay + 2az)

Force on the charge q moving with velocity v in a magnetic field B is given by F = q.v
=V0
(3ax-ay+az)×(ax+ay-4ax)

=V0
(6ax-12ay+az+ 4ax+2ay-4ax)

= v0
(14ay + 7az)

The electric force is FE = qE
Thus, qv × B – qE=0
or
E = – v × B
∴ E = – v0
(14ay + 7az)
