MCQ
When a proton is released from rest in a room, it starts with an initial acceleration $a_0$ towards west. When it is projected towards north with  a speed $v_0$ it moves with an initial acceleration $3a_0$ toward west. The electric and magnetic fields in the room are
  • A
    $\frac{{m{a_0}}}{e}$ west , $\frac{{m{a_0}}}{{e{V_0}}}$ up
  • $\;\frac{{m{a_0}}}{e}$ west , $\frac{{2m{a_0}}}{{e{V_0}}}$ down
  • C
    $\frac{{m{a_0}}}{e}$ east , $\frac{{3m{a_0}}}{{e{V_0}}}$ up
  • D
    $\frac{{m{a_0}}}{e}$ east, $\frac{{3m{a_0}}}{{e{V_0}}}$ down

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\;\frac{{m{a_0}}}{e}$ west , $\frac{{2m{a_0}}}{{e{V_0}}}$ down
b
$\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{p}}=\mathrm{e}, \mathrm{mp}=\mathrm{m}, \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{P}} \times \mathrm{E}$

or $\mathrm{ma}_{0}=\mathrm{eE}$ or, $\mathrm{E}=\mathrm{ma} / \mathrm{e}$ towards west

The acceleration changes from a to $3 \mathrm{a}_{0}$

Hence net acceleration produced by magnetic fleld vector $\mathrm{B}$ is $2 \mathrm{a}_{0}$

Force due to magnetic field

$=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}}=\mathrm{m} \times 2 \mathrm{a}_{0}=\mathrm{e} \times \mathrm{V}_{0} \times \mathrm{B}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{B}=\frac{2 \mathrm{ma}_{0}}{\mathrm{eV}_{0}} \quad$ downwards
