The magnetic force acting on a charged particle of charge $-2 \mu \mathrm{c}$ in a magnetic field of $2 \mathrm{~T}$ acting in $\mathrm{y}$ direction, when the particle velocity is $(2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}) \times 10^6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$, is :
  1. $8 \mathrm{~N}$ in $\mathrm{z}$ - direction
  2. $8 \mathrm{~N}$ in $\mathrm{z}-$ direction
  3. $4 \mathrm{~N}$ in $\mathrm{z}$ - direction
  4. $8 \mathrm{~N}$ in $\mathrm{y}-$ direction

Solution

$\begin{aligned} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} & =\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}) \\ & =-2 \times 10^{-6}\left[(2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}) \times 10^6 \times 2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}\right] \\ & =-(8 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \end{aligned}$
