Updated On: Apr 11, 2025
  • Induced electric field lines from closed loops
  • The Electric field varies linearly with r if r< R, where r is the radial distance from the centerline of the cylinder.
  • The charged particle will move in a clockwise direction when viewed from the top.
  • Acceleration of the charged particle is \(\frac{7q}{2m}\) when t=2 sec.

The Correct Option is A, B, C

Approach Solution - 1

Step 1: Magnetic Field and Induced Electric Field

The magnetic field inside the cylindrical region is given as: $$ \mathbf{B} = (4t^2 - 2t + 6)\hat{k} $$ where \( t \) is time. Since the magnetic field varies with time, an induced electric field is generated according to Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction: $$ \nabla \times \mathbf{E} = -\frac{\partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t} $$ This implies that the induced electric field forms closed loops because the curl of the electric field is non-zero.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Step 2: Electric Field Inside the Cylinder (\( r < R \))

For \( r < R \), the induced electric field can be determined using Faraday's Law. The rate of change of the magnetic flux through a loop of radius \( r \) is: $$ \frac{d\Phi_B}{dt} = \pi r^2 \frac{\partial B}{\partial t} $$ Substituting \( B = 4t^2 - 2t + 6 \): $$ \frac{\partial B}{\partial t} = 8t - 2 $$ Therefore: $$ \frac{d\Phi_B}{dt} = \pi r^2 (8t - 2) $$ By Faraday's Law, the induced electric field satisfies: $$ \oint \mathbf{E} \cdot d\mathbf{l} = -\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt} $$ For a circular loop of radius \( r \), the electric field magnitude is: $$ E \cdot (2\pi r) = -\pi r^2 (8t - 2) $$ Simplifying: $$ E = -\frac{r}{2} (8t - 2) $$ Thus, the electric field \( E \) varies linearly with \( r \) for \( r < R \).

This confirms that option (B) is correct.

Step 3: Direction of Motion of the Charged Particle

At \( t = 2 \, \text{sec} \), the magnetic field is: $$ B = 4(2)^2 - 2(2) + 6 = 16 - 4 + 6 = 18 \, \text{T} $$ The rate of change of the magnetic field is: $$ \frac{\partial B}{\partial t} = 8t - 2 = 8(2) - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14 \, \text{T/s} $$ The induced electric field creates a force on the charged particle. Using the right-hand rule, the direction of the induced electric field is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux. When viewed from the top, the induced electric field causes the charged particle to move in a clockwise direction.

This confirms that option (C) is correct.

Step 4: Acceleration of the Charged Particle

The force on the charged particle due to the induced electric field is: $$ F = qE $$ At \( r = 2R \), the electric field is: $$ E = -\frac{r}{2} (8t - 2) = -\frac{2R}{2} (8t - 2) = -R(8t - 2) $$ Substituting \( t = 2 \, \text{sec} \): $$ E = -R(8(2) - 2) = -R(16 - 2) = -14R $$ The force is: $$ F = q(-14R) = -14qR $$ The acceleration is: $$ a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{-14qR}{m} $$ This does not match the given value of \( \frac{7q}{2m} \). Thus, option (D) is incorrect.

Final Answer:

The correct option(s) is/are: $$ \boxed{\text{(A), (B), and (C)}} $$

Approach Solution -2

Correct statements: (A), (B), and (C) 

Given: 
- A charged particle with charge $q$ and mass $m$ is at a distance $2R$ from the center of a vertical cylindrical region of radius $R$.
- Magnetic field: $B = (4t^2 - 2t + 6) \hat{k}$ 

Using Faraday's Law:
\[ \oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{l} = -\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt} \] \[ \Phi_B = B \cdot \pi r^2 = (4t^2 - 2t + 6) \cdot \pi r^2 \] \[ \mathcal{E} = -\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt} = -\pi r^2 (8t - 2) \] \[ E \cdot 2\pi r = -\pi r^2 (8t - 2) \] \[ E = -\frac{r}{2}(8t - 2) \] 

Now analyzing the options:
(A) The induced electric field lines form closed loops. 
True, as per Faraday's law, the induced $\vec{E}$ forms circular closed loops. 

(B) The electric field varies linearly with $r$ if $r < R$. 
True, from $E = -\frac{r}{2}(8t - 2)$, it is directly proportional to $r$. 

(C) The charged particle moves in a clockwise direction when viewed from the top. 
True, magnetic field is increasing (since $dB/dt = 8t - 2$ is positive for $t > 0.25$), ⇒ induced field is clockwise to oppose this (Lenz’s Law) ⇒ positive charge moves clockwise. 

Conclusion:
Correct options are (A), (B), and (C).

Concepts Used:

Moving Charges and Magnetism

Moving charges generate an electric field and the rate of flow of charge is known as current. This is the basic concept in Electrostatics. Another important concept related to moving electric charges is the magnetic effect of current. Magnetism is caused by the current.

Magnetism:

  • The relationship between a Moving Charge and Magnetism is that Magnetism is produced by the movement of charges.
  • And Magnetism is a property that is displayed by Magnets and produced by moving charges, which results in objects being attracted or pushed away.

Magnetic Field:

Region in space around a magnet where the Magnet has its Magnetic effect is called the Magnetic field of the Magnet. Let us suppose that there is a point charge q (moving with a velocity v and, located at r at a given time t) in presence of both the electric field E (r) and the magnetic field B (r). The force on an electric charge q due to both of them can be written as,

F = q [ E (r) + v × B (r)] ≡ EElectric +Fmagnetic 

This force was based on the extensive experiments of Ampere and others. It is called the Lorentz force.
