4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
medium
A charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field with velocity vector making an angle of $30^o$ with the magnetic field. The particle describes a helical trajectory of pitch $x$ . The radius of the helix is
A
$\frac{x}{{2\pi }}$
B
$\frac{x}{{2\sqrt 2 \pi }}$
C
$\frac{x}{{2\sqrt 3 \pi }}$
D
$\frac{{\sqrt 3 x}}{{2\pi }}$
Solution
$\mathrm{p}=\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{mv} \cos \theta}{\mathrm{qB}}$
$\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{mv} \sin \theta}{\mathrm{qB}}=\frac{\mathrm{p}}{2 \pi} \tan \theta$
