Moving Charge in a Magnetic Field

A charged particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field in a circular path of radius RR. When the energy of the particle becomes three times the original, the new radius will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. r=2mKqB⇒r∝Kr = \dfrac{\sqrt{2mK}}{qB} \Rightarrow r \propto \sqrt{K}
  2. K′=3K⇒r′=3 RK' = 3K \Rightarrow r' = \sqrt{3}\,R
  3. So the answer is (b) 3R\sqrt{3}R.
