Physics Question from JEE Main 2025 · 7 April, Shift 1

Uniform magnetic fields of different strengths B1B_1 and B2B_2, both normal to the plane of the paper, exist as shown in the figure. A charged particle of mass mm and charge qq, at the interface at an instant, moves into region 22 with velocity vv and returns to the interface. It continues to move into region 11 and finally reaches the interface. What is the displacement of the particle during this movement along the interface?

Two horizontal regions separated by an interface, with crosses indicating uniform magnetic fields into the plane; upper region labeled B1 Region 1 and lower region labeled B2 Region 2.

Consider the velocity of the particle to be normal to the magnetic field and B2>B1B_2 > B_1.

  • A

    mvqB1(1B2B1)×2\frac{mv}{qB_1} \left( 1 - \frac{B_2}{B_1} \right) \times 2

  • B

    mvqB1(1B1B2)\frac{mv}{qB_1} \left( 1 - \frac{B_1}{B_2} \right)

  • C

    mvqB1(1B2B1)\frac{mv}{qB_1} \left( 1 - \frac{B_2}{B_1} \right)

  • D

    mvqB1(1B1B2)×2\frac{mv}{qB_1} \left( 1 - \frac{B_1}{B_2} \right) \times 2
