    A charged particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field in a circular path of radius R. When energy of the particle is doubled, then the new radius will be :

    A) \[R\]                                     

    B) \[R\sqrt{2}\]

    C) \[R/\sqrt{2}\]                                   

    D) \[2R\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Energy of charged particle revolving in a magnetic field, \[E=\frac{1}{2}m{{\upsilon }^{2}}\] But         \[\frac{m{{\upsilon }^{2}}}{R}=q\upsilon B\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\upsilon =\frac{qBR}{m}\] \[\therefore \]  \[E=\frac{1}{2}m\frac{{{q}^{2}}{{B}^{2}}{{R}^{2}}}{{{m}^{2}}}\]                                 \[=\frac{{{q}^{2}}{{B}^{2}}{{R}^{2}}}{2m}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[E\propto {{R}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[R\propto \sqrt{E}\] If R' is new radius \[\frac{R'}{R}=\sqrt{\frac{E'}{E}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{R'}{R}=\sqrt{2}\]                \[\Rightarrow \]               \[R'=\sqrt{2}R\]
