4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
medium
An electron is accelerated by a potential difference of $12000\, volts$. It then enters a uniform magnetic field of ${10^{ - 3}}\,T$ applied perpendicular to the path of electron. Find the radius of path. Given mass of electron $ = 9 \times {10^{ - 31}}\,kg$ and charge on electron $ = 1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}\,C$
A
$36.7\, m$
B
$36.7\, cm$
C
$3.67\, m$
D
$3.67\, cm$
Solution
(b) $r = \frac{{\sqrt {2mK} }}{{qB}} = \frac{1}{B}\sqrt {\frac{{2mV}}{q}} $
$ = \frac{1}{{{{10}^{ – 3}}}}\sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 9 \times {{10}^{ – 31}} \times 12000}}{{1.6 \times {{10}^{ – 19}}}}} $ = $0.367\, m = 36.7\, cm$
