Q. A particle of mass $0.6\ g$ and having charge of $25\ nC$ is moving horizontally with a uniform velocity $1.2 \times 10^{4}\ ms^{- 1}$ in a uniform magnetic field, then the value of the magnetic induction is $(g = 10\ ms^{- 2})$

A) Zero
B) 10 $T$
C) 20 $T$
D) 200 $T$
Explanation

(c) Particle will move with uniform velocity when it’s acceleration is zero
$i.e.,\ \left| F_{m} \right| = mg \Rightarrow mg = qvB$
$\Rightarrow B = \frac{mg}{qv} = \frac{0.6 \times 10^{- 3} \times 10}{25 \times 10^{- 9} \times 1.2 \times 10^{4}} = 20\ T$
