Moving Charges And Magnetism Ques 8
8. Under the influence of a uniform magnetic field a charged particle is moving in a circle of radius $R$ with constant speed $v$. The time period of the motion
[2007]
(a) depends on both $R$ and $v$
(b) is independent of both $R$ and $v$
(c) depends on $R$ and not on $v$
(d) depends on $v$ and not on $R$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 8.(b)
Solution:
- (b)
When a test charge $q_0$ enters a magnetic field $\vec{B}$ directed along $z$-axis, with a velocity $\vec{v}$ making angles $d$ with the $z$-axis. The time period of the motion is independent of $R$ and $v$.
