JEE Main & Advanced Physics EM Waves JEE PYQ-Electro Magnetic Waves

  • question_answer
    The electric fields of two plane electromagnetic plane waves in vacuum are given by
    \[{{\vec{E}}_{1}}={{E}_{0}}\hat{j}\cos \left( \omega t-kx \right)\]
    and       \[{{\vec{E}}_{2}}={{E}_{0}}\hat{k}\cos \left( \omega t-ky \right)\]
    At t = 0, a particle of chcarge q is at origin with a velocity \[\vec{v}=0.8c\hat{j}\] (c is the speed of light in vaccum). The instantaneous force experienced by the particle is: [JEE MAIN Held on 09-01-2020 Morning]

    A)             \[{{E}_{0}}q\left( 0.4\hat{i}-3\hat{j}+0.8\hat{k} \right)\]

    B)             \[{{E}_{0}}q\left( -\,0.8\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k} \right)\]

    C)             \[{{E}_{0}}q\left( 0.8\hat{i}+\hat{j}+0.2\hat{k} \right)\]

    D)             \[{{E}_{0}}q\left( 0.8\hat{i}-\hat{j}+0.4\hat{k} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\vec{F}=q\vec{E}+q\left( \vec{V}\times \vec{B} \right)\]
                \[{{\vec{B}}_{1}}=\frac{{{E}_{0}}}{c}\hat{k}\cos \left( \omega t-kx \right)\And {{\vec{B}}_{2}}=\frac{{{E}_{0}}}{c}\hat{i}\cos \left( \omega t-ky \right)\]
                \[\vec{F}=q\left( {{{\vec{E}}}_{1}}+{{{\vec{E}}}_{2}} \right)+q\vec{v}\times \left( {{{\vec{B}}}_{1}}\times {{{\vec{B}}}_{2}} \right)\]
                If t = 0 and x = y = 0
                \[\vec{F}=q{{E}_{0}}\left( 0.8\hat{i}+\hat{j}+0.2\hat{k} \right)\]
