Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 393

Question: A charged particle of mass m and charge q travels on a circular path of radius r that is perpendicular to a magnetic field B. The time taken by the particle to complete one revolution is

Options:

A) $ \frac{2\pi q^{2}B}{m} $

B) $ \frac{2\pi mq}{B} $

C) $ \frac{2\pi m}{qB} $

D) $ \frac{2\pi qB}{m} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Equating magnetic force to centripetal force, [a] $ \frac{mv^{2}}{r}=qvB,\sin ,90^{o} $ Time to complete one revolution, $ T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}=\frac{2\pi m}{qB} $
