AIIMS 2019 Physics Moving Charges and Magnetism MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
Ratio of electric and magnetic field due of moving point charge if its speed is 4.5×10⁵ m/s
A
2×10¹¹
B
3×10¹¹
C
2×10⁸
D
3×10¹²
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The ratio of the electric field (E) to the magnetic field (B) due to a moving point charge can be derived from the relationship and , where is Coulomb's constant, is the charge, is the velocity, and is the distance from the charge. This leads to the ratio , where is the speed of light, resulting in a value of approximately for . Other options are incorrect as they do not align with the derived ratio based on the fundamental principles of electromagnetism.
