Question

Two point charges + Q and - Q having masses M and 2 M respectively, are projected from the same point with the same velocity v in the region of a uniform magnetic field B such that the velocity makes an angle θ with the magnetic field. If we neglect the mutual interaction between the particles, the distance from the point of projection where they will meet again for the first time is, 2 π Mv cos θ Q B, 8 π Mv cos θ Q B, π Mv cos θ Q B, 4 π Mv cos θ Q B

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Here path will be helical T 1 = 2 π M QB T 2 = 2 π 2 M QB T 2 = 4 π M QB They will meet again when the first particle completes two revolutions and the second particle completes one revolution so distance will be given as d = v cos θ t = v cos θ . 2 2 π M QB = 4 π Mv cos θ QB
