Question
A charge particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field $(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}) T$ . If it has an acceleration of $(\alpha \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ , then the value of $\alpha$ will be
Select the correct option:

D
2
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
As $\vec{F}=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})$ - $$ \vec{a}=\frac{q}{m}(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) $$ so, $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}$ are ⟂ to each other Hence, $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=0$ $$ \begin{aligned} & (\alpha \hat{\mathrm{i}}-4 \hat{\mathrm{j}}) \cdot(2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}})=0 \\ & \alpha(2)+(-4)(3)=0 \\ & \alpha=\frac{12}{2} \Rightarrow \alpha=6 \end{aligned} $$
