4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
medium

A charged particle moves along circular path in a uniform magnetic field in a cyclotron. The kinetic energy of the charged particle increases to $4$ times its initial value. What will be the ratio of new radius to the original radius of circular path of the charged particle

A

$1: 1$

B

$1: 2$

C

$2: 1$

D

$1: 4$

Solution

radius of paerticle in cyclotron

$r =\frac{\sqrt{2 mK . E .}}{ qB }$

So ratio of new radius to original

$\frac{ r _{ n }}{ r _{0}}=\sqrt{\frac{( K \cdot E .)_{ n }}{( K \cdot E )_{0}}}=\sqrt{4} \Rightarrow 2: 1$
