Solution

The correct option is B Rate of work done by electric field at P is 34mv3a
Kinetic energy of the particle at point P=12mv2



K.E. of the particle at point Q=12m(2v)2
Increase in K.E.=32mv2
It comes from the work done by the electric force qE on the particle as it covers a distance 2a along the x-axis. Thus 32mv2=qE×2aE=34mv2qa .
The rate of work done by the electric field at P
=F×v=qE×v=3mv34a
At Q, Fe=qE is along x-axis while velocity is along negative y-axis. Hence rate of work done by electric field =Fe.v=0 ( θ=90) Similarly, according to equation Fm=q(v×B)
Force Fm is also perpendicular to velocity vector v .
Hence the rate of work done by the magnetic field = 0
