Step 1. Given Data,
Kinetic Energy
Charge
mass of the particle
Step 2. Formula used,
The work done
The expression for the work-energy theorem is
Here,
Step 3. Calculating the kinetic energy of the particle,
We know that when a charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field, a magnetic force acts on this charged particle in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle.
This force acting in the direction perpendicular to the displacement of the particle causes the charged particle to perform uniform circular motion in the magnetic field. The angle between the magnetic force and the displacement of the particle is
Calculating the work done on this charged particle in the uniform magnetic field.
Hence, the work done on this charged particle as
Let us determine the kinetic energy of the charged particle 3 seconds after entering the magnetic field.
Substitute
The change in kinetic energy of the charged particle after entering the magnetic field is zero. Therefore, the kinetic energy of the charged particle
Hence, the correct option is C
