An electron (mass \(9 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}\) and charge \(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}\)) moving with a speed of \(5.0 \times 10^7 \text{ m/s}\) enters a region of uniform magnetic field of strength 0.04 T which is perpendicular to its velocity. The radius of the circular path it follows is:

  1. A \(7.11 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}\)
  2. B \(8.05 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}\)
  3. C \(7.03 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}\)
  4. D \(8.32 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(7.03 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(r = \frac{mv}{qB}\) \(r = \frac{(9 \times 10^{-31})(5.0 \times 10^7)}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(0.04)}\) \(r = 7.03 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}\)
