4.Moving Charges and Magnetism

An electron with energy $880 \,eV$ enters a uniform magnetic field of induction $2.5 \times 10^{-3}\,T$. The radius of path of the circle will approximately be :

A

$4 \,km$

B

$4 \,m$

C

$4 \,cm$

D

$4 \,mm$

Solution

$\because \mathrm{evB}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{r}}$

$\therefore \mathrm{r}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}}{\mathrm{eB}}=\frac{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mE}}}{\mathrm{eB}}$

or $\quad \mathrm{r}=\frac{\sqrt{2 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 880 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 2.5 \times 10^{-3}} \approx 0.04\, \mathrm{m}=4 \,\mathrm{cm}$
