If a charge particle of charge

2 \mu {C}

and mass

1 {gm}

is released at origin in gravity free space having

\vec{E}=E_0 \hat{j}

and

\vec{B}=-B_0 \hat{j}

\left(E_0=10^3 {~N} / {C}\right.

and

\left.B_0=5 {~T}\right)

, then its speed

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Depends only on

Y

co-ordinate

Option B is correct because the electric field is along the y-axis, causing acceleration in the y-direction. The magnetic field, also along the y-axis, does not exert a force on the particle since the velocity is initially along the y-axis. Therefore, the speed depends only on the y-coordinate.
