An electron, moving along thex-axis with an initial energy of100 eV,enters a region of magnetic fieldB=1.5×10-3 Tk^at S (see figure). The field extends betweenx=0andx=2 cm.The electron is detected at the pointQon a screen placed8 cmaway from the pointS.The distance d betweenPandQ(on the screen) is:
(electron’s charge1.6×10-19 C, mass of electron=9.1×10-31 kg)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

R=mVqB
=2m(K.E)qB
mV=2mK.E
=2×9.1×10-31×100×1.6×10-191.6×10-19×1.5×10-3
=2.248cm2.25cm

sinθ=22.248=0.89
PA=R1-cosθ=1.22 cm
AB=6tanθ=11.71 cm
d=PA+AB=12.93 cm
