In a chamber, a uniform magnetic field of

6.5\,\mathrm{G}(1\,\mathrm{G}=

10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}

) is maintained. An electron is shot into the field with a speed of

4.8 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}

normal to the field. Explain why the path of the electron is a circle. Determine the radius of the circular orbit. Given that

e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C},\quad m_e=9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}

.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

4.2 cm

Option A (4.2 cm) is correct because the radius of the circular path is calculated using the formula

r = \frac{{m_e v}}{{e B}}

with the given values.

A needle made of bismuth is suspended freely in a magnetic field. The angle which the needle makes with the magnetic field is: Assertion: If a charged particles is moving in perpendicular uniform magnetic field, its kinetic energy does not change
Reason: Velocity of charge particle is not changing in magnetic field. Pick out the wrong statement : A steady current is flowing in a circular coil of radius

R

, made up of a thin conducting wire. The magnetic field at the center of the loop is

B_L

. Now, a circular loop of radius

R/n

is made from the same wire without changing its length, by unfolding and refolding the loop, and the same current is passed through it. If new magnetic field at the center of the coil is

, then the ratio

B_L / B_C
