    An electron accelerated through a potential difference enters into a uniform transverse magnetic field and experiences a force F. If the accelerating potential is increased to 2 V, the electron in the same magnetic field will experience a force :

    A)  \[F\]             

    B)  \[F/2\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{2}F\]           

    D)  \[2F\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The force due to magnetic field B, acting on electron e moving with velocity v is \[F=e\,v\,B\] ... (i) Also, kinetic energy = energy due to potential V i.e., \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=eV\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[v={{\left( \frac{2\,eV}{m} \right)}^{1/2}}\] ?.. (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[F=e\,B{{\left( \frac{2\,eV}{m} \right)}^{1/2}}\] Given, \[{{F}_{1}}=F,\,{{V}_{1}}=V,\,{{V}_{2}}=2\,V\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{F}_{2}}}{{{F}_{1}}}=\frac{\sqrt{{{V}_{2}}}}{{{V}_{1}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{F}_{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{2\,V}}{\sqrt{V}}F\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{F}_{2}}=\sqrt{2\,}F\]
