In the product F=q(v×B)=qv×(Bi^+Bj^+B0k^). For q=1 and v=2i^+4j^+6k^ and F=4i^−20j^+12k^. What will be the complete expression for B?
A
−8i^−8j^−6k^
B
−6i^−6j^−8k^
C
8i^+8j^−6k^
D
6i^+6j^−8k^
Step-by-Step Solution
Given F=q(v×B). With q=1, F=v×B. Substituting vectors: 4i^−20j^+12k^=(2i^+4j^+6k^)×(Bi^+Bj^+B0k^). Calculating the cross product using the determinant method: i^2Bj^4Bk^6B0=i^(4B0−6B)−j^(2B0−6B)+k^(2B−4B). Comparing components with 4i^−20j^+12k^, we get equations: 4B0−6B=4, −(2B0−6B)=−20, and 2B−4B=12. Solving these yields B=−6 and B0=−8. Thus, B=−6i^−6j^−8k^.
