Question 115 of 276

Consider a long thin conducting wire carrying a uniform current I. A particle having mass " M " and charge " qq " is released at a distance " aa " from the wire with a speed v0v_0 along the direction of current in the wire. The particle gets attracted to the wire due to magnetic force. The particle turns round when it is at distance xx from the wire. The value of xx is [ μ0\mu_0 is vacuum permeability]

$\begin{aligned}

& \mathrm{zdz}=-\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{x}} \mathrm{dv}_{\mathrm{x}} \\

& \frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{x}} \mathrm{dv}_x}{\sqrt{\mathrm{v}_0^2-\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{x}}^2}}=\frac{-\mathrm{zdz}}{\mathrm{z}}=-\mathrm{dz}

then integral becomes

& \mathrm{v}_0=-\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{Iq}}{2 \pi \mathrm{~m}} \ln \frac{\mathrm{x}_1}{\mathrm{a}}

$\begin{aligned}

From equation 1 and 2

X=ae−4πmv0μ0IqX=a e^{-\frac{4 \pi \mathrm{mv}_0}{\mu_0 \mathrm{Iq}}}
