AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

The radius of the path of an electron moving at a speed of \(3.2 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) in a magnetic field of \(6 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\) perpendicular to it is (mass of electron is \(9 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}\) and charge of electron is \(\left.1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\right)\)

  1. A \(22.4 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  2. B \(13 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C \(30 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D \(39 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(30 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}}{\mathrm{qB}}=\frac{9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 3.2 \times 10^7}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 6 \times 10^{-4}}=30 \mathrm{~cm}\)
