A proton of mass \(m\) and charge \(q\) is moving in a plane with kinetic energy \(E\). If there exists a uniform magnetic field \(B\), perpendicular to the plane of the motion, the proton will move in a circular path of radius

  1. A \(\frac{2 E m}{q B}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\sqrt{2 E m}}{q B}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\sqrt{E m}}{2 q B}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{\frac{2 E q}{m B}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\sqrt{2 E m}}{q B}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Kinetic energy \(=E\) Mass \(=m\) Magnetic field \(=B\) Charge \(=q\) We know that \[ F=q v B \sin \theta \] (motion of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field) If \[ \theta=90^{\circ} \] Then \[ F=q v B \] We know that also (centripetal force)…
