4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy
A charged particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ travels on a circular path of radius $r$ that is perpendicular to a magnetic field $B$. The time taken by the particle to complete one revolution is
A
$\frac{{2\pi qB}}{m}$
B
$\frac{{2\pi \,m}}{{q\,B}}$
C
$\frac{{2\pi \,m\,q}}{B}$
D
$\frac{{2\pi \,{q^2}B}}{m}$
(AIEEE-2005)
Solution
(b) Equating magnetic force to centripetal force,
$\frac{m v^{2}}{r}=q v B \sin 90^{\circ}$
Time to complete one revolution,
$T=\frac{2 \pi r}{v}=\frac{2 \pi m}{q B}$
