JEE PHYSICS MCQ: MAGNETIC EFFECT OF CURRENT

1 Medium
1 of 1
Application +4 | -1
A proton projected in a magnetic field of 0.020 T travels along a helical path of radius 5.0 cm and pitch 20 cm. Find the components of the velocity of the proton along and perpendicular to the magnetic field. Take the mass of the proton =1.6×10−27 kg=1.6 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
1×105 m/s;  6.4×104 m/s1 \times {10^5}\,m/s;\,\,6.4 \times {10^4}\,m/s
Option A (1×105 m/s;  6.4×104 m/s1 \times {10^5}\,m/s;\,\,6.4 \times {10^4}\,m/s) is correct because the perpendicular component is found using the radius of the helix, and the parallel component is found using the pitch.
