Moving Charge in a Magnetic Field

A charged particle of charge ' qq ' is accelerated by a potential difference ' VV ' enters a region of uniform magnetic field ' BB ' at right angles to the direction of field. The charged particle completes semicircle of radius ' rr ' inside magnetic field. The mass of the charged particle is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. After acceleration: p22m=qV\dfrac{p^2}{2m} = qV; in the field p=qBrp = qBr.
  2. m=q2B2r22qV=r2qB22Vm = \dfrac{q^2B^2r^2}{2qV} = \dfrac{r^2qB^2}{2V}
  3. So the answer is (a) r2qB22V\frac{r^2qB^2}{2V}.
