A charged particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field in a circular path of radius ' \(R\) '. When the kinetic energy of the particle is increased to three times, then the new radius will be

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{3} \cdot \mathrm{R}\)
  4. D \(3 \cdot \mathrm{R}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{3} \cdot \mathrm{R}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \quad \text { Radius, } r=\frac{\sqrt{2 m K}}{q B} \Rightarrow r \propto \sqrt{K} \\ & \therefore \quad \\ & \quad \frac{R}{R_2}=\sqrt{\frac{K}{3 K}} \\ & \\ & \Rightarrow R_2=\sqrt{3} R\end{aligned}\)
