DO NOT OPEN THIS TEST UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO BEGIN
- Work Part A first. You have 90 minutes to complete all four problems.
- After you have completed Part A, you may take a break.
- Then work Part B. You have 90 minutes to complete both problems.
- Show all your work. Partial credit will be given.
- Start each question on a new sheet of paper. Be sure to put your name in the upper right-hand corner of each page, along with the question number and the page number/total pages for this problem. For example,
Doe, Jamie
A1 – 1/3
- A hand-held calculator may be used. Its memory must be cleared of data and programs. It may not be used in graphing mode. Calculators may not be shared. You may not use any tables, books, or collections of formulas. You may use a ruler or straight edge.
- Questions with the same point value are not necessarily of the same difficulty.
- Good luck!

(Cylindrical coordinates are used in this problem and , , and , represent unit vectors in the , and directions, respectively. The coordinates form a right-handed orthogonal system, e.g., .) A particle with charge and mass is constrained to move in the xy-plane with velocity that can be expressed as . The particle is initially at rest and a distance from the origin. Two forces act on the particle. One is due to the presence of a uniform magnetic field given by . The other force and its corresponding potential energy are:

a. (5 т.)
The magnetic force is .
Inserting the expressions for the velocity and magnetic field and taking the cross product,
b. (5 т.)
At any instant the displacement is in the direction of the velocity while the force is perpendicular to it. Therefore .
Or
c. (8 т.)
The magnetic force does no work. The other force has an associated potential energy. Using the work-energy theorem which reduces to conservation of mechanical energy,
Since the particle is initially at rest, its initial kinetic energy is zero.
Substituting the energy terms
Where
Combining the last two equations
