Moving Charge in a Magnetic Field

An α\alpha-particle of energy 10 eV is moving in a circular path in uniform magnetic field. The energy of proton moving in the same path and same magnetic field will be [mass of α\alpha-particle =4= 4 times mass of proton]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Same path and field means same rr and BB: K=q2B2r22m⇒K∝q2mK = \dfrac{q^2B^2r^2}{2m} \Rightarrow K \propto \dfrac{q^2}{m}.
  2. Alpha: (2e)24mp=e2mp\dfrac{(2e)^2}{4m_p} = \dfrac{e^2}{m_p}; proton: e2mp\dfrac{e^2}{m_p}. The ratio is 1.
  3. Kp=Kα=10K_p = K_\alpha = 10 eV
  4. So the answer is (d) 10 eV.
