To which of the following quantities, the radius of the circular path of a charged particle moving at right angles to a uniform magnetic field is directly proportional?

  1. A energy of the particle
  2. B magnetic field
  3. C charge of the particle
  4. D momentum of the particle
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) momentum of the particle

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If velocity of particle, \(\mathrm{v}\) is perpendicular to magnetic field, \(\mathbf{B}\) i.e. \(\theta=90^{\circ},\) then particle will experience maximum magnetic force, i.e. \(F_{\max }=q v B .\) This force acts in a direction perpendicular to the motion of charged particle.…
