COMEDK · Physics · 21. Magnetic Effects of Current

Electron of mass \(m\) and charge \(q\) is travelling with a speed \(v\) along a circular path of radius \(r\) at right angles to a uniform magnetic field of intensity \(B\). If the speed of the electron is doubled and the magnetic field is halved, then the resulting path would have a radius

  1. A \(2 r\)
  2. B \(4 r\)
  3. C \(\frac{r}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{r}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4 r\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, radius of charge particle of mass \(m\) having charge \(q\) moving with speed \(v\) in magnetic field perpendicular to it, \(r=m v / B q...(i)\) For second case,…
