4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy
An electron is moving with a speed of ${10^8}\,m/\sec $ perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of intensity $B$. Suddenly intensity of the magnetic field is reduced to $B/2$. The radius of the path becomes from the original value of $r$
A
No change
B
Reduces to $r / 2$
C
Increases to $2r$
D
Stops moving
Solution
(c) $r \propto \frac{1}{B}$ i.e. $\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}} = \frac{{{B_2}}}{{{B_1}}} \Rightarrow {r_2} = \frac{{{B_1}}}{{{B_1}/2}} \times r$=$ 2r$
