Question: The radius of curvature of the path of a charged particle moving in a static uniform magnetic field is [Roorkee 1999]

Options:

A) Directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge on the particle

B) Directly proportional to the magnitude of the linear momentum of the particle

C) Directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the particle

D) Inversely proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ r=\frac{mv}{qB}=\frac{P}{qB} $
