JEE MainPhysicsMagneticsMCQ+4 / −1
The electrostatic force (F1⃗)\left(\vec{F_1}\right)(F1​​) and magnetic force (F⃗2)\left(\vec{F}_2\right)(F2​) acting on a charge qqq moving with velocity vvv can be written :
  1. A
    F⃗1=qB⃗,F⃗2=q(B⃗×v⃗)\vec{F}_1=q \vec{B}, \vec{F}_2=q(\vec{B} \times \vec{v})F1​=qB,F2​=q(B×v)
  2. B
    F⃗1=qV⃗⋅E⃗,F⃗2=q(B⃗⋅V⃗)\vec{F}_1=q \vec{V} \cdot \vec{E}, \vec{F}_2=q(\vec{B} \cdot \vec{V})F1​=qV⋅E,F2​=q(B⋅V)
  3. C
    F⃗1=qE⃗,F⃗2=q(V⃗×B⃗)\vec{F}_1=q \vec{E}, \vec{F}_2=q(\vec{V} \times \vec{B})F1​=qE,F2​=q(V×B)

Correct answer: C

  1. Recall the standard expressions for force on a charge qqq:

    • Electrostatic force: F⃗1=qE⃗\vec{F}_1 = q\vec{E}F1​=qE

    • Magnetic force on a charge moving with velocity v⃗\vec{v}v: F⃗2=q(v⃗×B⃗)\vec{F}_2 = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})F2​=q(v×B)

  2. Now check each option:

    Option A: F⃗1=qB⃗,F⃗2=q(B⃗×v⃗)\vec{F}_1 = q\vec{B}, \quad \vec{F}_2 = q(\vec{B} \times \vec{v})F1​=qB,F2​=q(B×v)

    • First expression is wrong because electrostatic force depends on E⃗\vec{E}E, not B⃗\vec{B}B.
    • Hence, A is incorrect.

    Option B: F⃗1=qV⃗⋅E⃗,F⃗2=q(B⃗⋅V⃗)\vec{F}_1 = q\vec{V} \cdot \vec{E}, \quad \vec{F}_2 = q(\vec{B} \cdot \vec{V})F1​=qV⋅E,F2​=q(B⋅V)

    • These are dot products, giving scalars, whereas force is a vector.
    • Hence, B is incorrect.

    Option C: F⃗1=qE⃗,F⃗2=q(V⃗×B⃗)\vec{F}_1 = q\vec{E}, \quad \vec{F}_2 = q(\vec{V} \times \vec{B})F1​=qE,F2​=q(V×B)

    • This exactly matches the standard formulas.
    • Hence, C is correct.

    Option D: F⃗1=qE⃗,F⃗2=q(B⃗×V⃗)\vec{F}_1 = q\vec{E}, \quad \vec{F}_2 = q(\vec{B} \times \vec{V})F1​=qE,F2​=q(B×V)

    • Since cross product is anti-commutative, B⃗×V⃗=−(V⃗×B⃗)\vec{B} \times \vec{V} = -(\vec{V} \times \vec{B})B×V=−(V×B)
    • So this gives the opposite direction of magnetic force.
    • Hence, D is incorrect.
  3. Final Answer: Option C\boxed{\text{Option C}}Option C​

  4. Comparison with stored correct answer:

    • Stored correct answer: C
    • Derived answer: C
    • They match.
