A charged particle accelerated through a potential difference of V volts acquires a speed u. The particle is then made to enter perpendicularly in a uniform magnetic field B. The radius of the circular path followed by the charged particle will be proportional to

  1. A \(V / u\)
  2. B \(u / V\)
  3. C \(V^2 / u^2\)
  4. D \(u^2 / V^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(V / u\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = qV \Rightarrow m = \frac{2qV}{u^2}\) \(q u B = \frac{mu^2}{R}\) \(R = \frac{mu}{qB}\) \(R = \frac{(\frac{2qV}{u^2})u}{qB}\) \(R = \frac{2V}{uB}\) \(R \propto \frac{V}{u}\)
