  • question_answer
    A proton of mass m and charge q is moving in a plane with kinetic energy E. If there exists a uniform magnetic field B, perpendicular to the plane of the motion, the proton will move in a circular path of radius

    A)  \[\frac{2Em}{qB}\]

    B)  \[\frac{\sqrt{2Em}}{qB}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\sqrt{Em}}{2qB}\]

    D)  \[\frac{\sqrt{2Eq}}{mB}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Given, Kinetic energy = E Mass = m Magnetic field = B Charge = q We know that \[F=\text{ }qvB\text{ }sin\text{ }\theta \] (motion of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field) If               \[\theta ={{90}^{o}}\] Then             \[F=qvB\] ?(i) We know that also (centripetal force) \[F=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}\] ?(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[qvB=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r},r=\frac{mv}{qB}\left[ \because \,E=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}},v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}} \right]\] \[\therefore \] \[r=\frac{m\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}}{qB}\Rightarrow r=\frac{\sqrt{2Em}}{qB}\]
