Magnetics Ques 41

  1. In an experiment, electrons are accelerated, from rest by applying a voltage of $500$ $V$. Calculate the radius of the path, if a magnetic field $100$ $mT$ is then applied.

(Take, charge of the electron $=1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$ and mass of the electron $=9.1 \times 10^{-31} kg$ )

Answer:

Correct Answer: 41.(b)

Solution:

Formula:

Magnetic Force Acting On A Moving Point Charge:

  1. During the circular motion of accelerated electron in the presence of magnetic field, its radius is given by

$ r=\frac{m v}{B e}=\frac{\sqrt{2 m e V}}{e B} $

where, $v$ is velocity and $V$ is voltage.

After substituting the given values, we get

$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{\sqrt{2 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 500}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 100 \times 10^{-3}} \\ & =10 \left[\frac{2 \times 9.1 \times 500}{1.6} \times 10^{-12}\right] 1 / 2 \\ r & =7.5 \times 10^{-4} m \end{aligned} $
