In the product F=q(v×B)=qv×(Bi^+Bj^+B0k^)\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) = q\vec{v} \times (B\hat{i} + B\hat{j} + B_0\hat{k}). For q=1q = 1 and v=2i^+4j^+6k^\vec{v} = 2\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 6\hat{k} and F=4i^20j^+12k^\vec{F} = 4\hat{i} - 20\hat{j} + 12\hat{k}. What will be the complete expression for B\vec{B}?

A

8i^8j^6k^-8\hat{i} - 8\hat{j} - 6\hat{k}

B

6i^6j^8k^-6\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} - 8\hat{k}

C

8i^+8j^6k^8\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} - 6\hat{k}

D

6i^+6j^8k^6\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} - 8\hat{k}

Step-by-Step Solution

Given F=q(v×B)\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}). With q=1q=1, F=v×B\vec{F} = \vec{v} \times \vec{B}. Substituting vectors: 4i^20j^+12k^=(2i^+4j^+6k^)×(Bi^+Bj^+B0k^)4\hat{i} - 20\hat{j} + 12\hat{k} = (2\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}) \times (B\hat{i} + B\hat{j} + B_0\hat{k}). Calculating the cross product using the determinant method: i^j^k^246BBB0=i^(4B06B)j^(2B06B)+k^(2B4B)\begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\2 & 4 & 6 \\B & B & B_0 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(4B_0 - 6B) - \hat{j}(2B_0 - 6B) + \hat{k}(2B - 4B). Comparing components with 4i^20j^+12k^4\hat{i} - 20\hat{j} + 12\hat{k}, we get equations: 4B06B=44B_0 - 6B = 4, (2B06B)=20-(2B_0 - 6B) = -20, and 2B4B=122B - 4B = 12. Solving these yields B=6B = -6 and B0=8B_0 = -8. Thus, B=6i^6j^8k^\vec{B} = -6\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} - 8\hat{k}.
