Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as:

  • The charge of the particle is,q
  • The mass of the particle is,m
  • The particle carries a chargeI .
02

Significance of the motion of a particle

Themotion of a particle is described as the direction at which the particle’s velocity vector is mainly tangent to the path of the particle. The velocity vector’s magnitude equals the particle’s speed.

03

(a) Determination of the conservation of the kinetic energy

From the given data, it can be identified that the magnetic force does not work around the particle. Hence, the kinetic energy is constant.

Thus, the kinetic energy is conserved.

04

(b) Determination of the force on the particle

The equation of the force on the particle is expressed as:

F=qv×B …(¾±)

Here,q is the particle’s charge,v is the velocity andB is the magnetic field of the particle.

The equation of the magnetic field can be expressed as:

B=μ0I2Ï€²õÏ•Áåœ â€¦(¾±¾±)

Here,μ0 is the permittivity,I is charge carried by the particle,s is the distance moved andÏ•Áåœ is the position vector of the particle.

The equation of the velocity of the particle is expressed as:

v=ssÁåœ+sÏ•.Ï•Áåœ+z.zÁåœ â€¦(¾±¾±¾±)

Here,zÁåœ is the position vector in the z axis.

Substitute the value of the equation (ii) and (iii) in equation (i).

F=qssÁåœ+sÏ•.Ï•Áåœ+z.zÁåœÃ—μ0I2Ï€²õÏ•Áåœ=-qμ0I2Ï€²õz.sÁåœ+qs.μ0I2Ï€²õzÁåœ

Thus,the force on the particle is-qμ0I2Ï€²õz.sÁåœ+qs.μ0I2Ï€²õzÁåœ.

05

(c) Determination of the equation of motion

The equation of the force of the particle is expressed as:

F=ma …(¾±)

Here, mis the mass and ais the acceleration of the particle.

The equation of the force can also be expressed as:

F=s.-sÏ•.2sÁåœ+s.Ï•..+2s.Ï•.Ï•Áåœ+z..zÁåœ â€¦(¾±¾±)

Here, sis the distance moved by the particle, ϕis the angle subtended at the zaxis and zis the coordinate of the particle in the zaxis.

The product of the mass and the acceleration of the particle can be expressed as:

ma=qμ02Ï€³¾s-z.sÁåœ+s.zÁåœ â€¦(¾±¾±¾±)

Here,qis the charge of the particle and μ0is the permeability.

Substitute the values of the equation (ii) and (iii) in equation (i).

s.-sÏ•.2sÁåœ+s.Ï•..+2s.Ï•.Ï•Áåœ+z..zÁåœ=qμ02Ï€³¾s-z.sÁåœ+s.+s.zÁåœ

From the above equation, three equations can be obtained such as;

s..-sÏ•.2=-qμ02Ï€³¾z.ssÏ•.+2s.Ï•.=0z..=qμ02Ï€³¾s.s …(¾±±¹)

Thus, the equations of motion are s..-2Ï•.2=-qμ02Ï€³¾z.s,sÏ•..+2s.Ï•..=0andz..=qμ02Ï€³¾s.srespectively.

06

(d) Determination of the motion of z. 

From the equations of motion gathered in the above step, if the value of z.is constant, then z..will be zero. Like this, if the value of s is constant, then s.and s..will be zero.

Substitute 0 fors.. in the equation (iv).

-sÏ•.=-qμ02Ï€³¾z.sÏ•.2=qμ02Ï€³¾z.s2Ï•.=±1sqμ02Ï€³¾z.

From the above equation, it can be identified that the charge mainly moves like a helix.

Thus, the motion ofz. is helix.
