4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
medium

A proton of energy $200\, MeV$ enters the magnetic field of $5\, T$. If direction of field is from south to north and motion is upward, the force acting on it will be

A

Zero

B

$1.6 \times {10^{ - 10}}\,N$

C

$3.2 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,N$

D

$1.6 \times {10^{ - 6}}\,N$

Solution

(b) $F = qvB$ also Kinetic energy $K = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}$$ \Rightarrow v = \sqrt {\frac{{2K}}{m}} $
 $F = q\sqrt {\frac{{2K}}{m}} B$
$ = 1.6 \times {10^{ – 19}}\sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 200 \times {{10}^6} \times 1.6 \times {{10}^{ – 19}}}}{{1.67 \times {{10}^{ – 27}}}}} \times 5$
$ = 1.6 \times {10^{ – 10}}\,N$
