JEE MainPhysics

A charge q is projected from origin with a velocity along
positive x-axis in a region having uniform magnetic field directed

towards negative y-axis. If T is the time period of circular motion then

the velocity vector of charge q at some instant t where

[IMAGE] may be

Show answer and solution
[IMAGE] The charge executes circular motion in x-z plane with its center lying
on the negative z-axis. At time t where[IMAGE] the charge

has completed [IMAGE] th of the circle and so its velocity

vector is pointing towards first quadrant in x-z plane.

⇒ V_x is positive and V_z is positive and V_y is zero.
