JEE Main & Advanced Physics Magnetic Effects of Current / करंट का चुंबकीय प्रभाव Question Bank Critical Thinking

  • question_answer
    An ionized gas contains both positive and negative ions. If it is subjected simultaneously to an electric field along the +x direction and a magnetic field along the +z direction, then  [IIT-JEE (Screening) 2000]

    A)            Positive ions deflect towards +y direction and negative ions towards ?y direction

    B)            All ions deflect towards +y direction

    C)            All ions deflect towards ?y direction

    D)            Positive ions deflect towards ?y direction and negative ions towards +y direction

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               As the electric field is switched on, positive ion will start to move along positive x-direction and negative ion along negative x-direction. Current associated with motion of both types of ions is along positive x-direction. According to Fleming's left hand rule force on both types of ions will be along negative y-direction.
