An electron(q=1.6×10-19 C)is moving at right angles to a uniform magnetic field of3.534×10-5 TThe time taken by the electron to complete a circular orbit is

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

For a perpendicular magnetic field, magnetic force is provided by the force. So,




mv2r=qvB

i.e. r=mvqB  ...(i)

As in uniform circular motionv=rωso the angular frequency of circular motion will be given by

ω=vr=qBm[Using Eq. (i)]

and hence, the time period

T=2πω=2πmqB  ...(ii)

Given,B=3.534×10-5 T

q=1.6×10-19 C, m=9.1×10-31 kg, T=?

From Eq. (ii), we get

 T=2×3.14×9.1×10-313.534×10-5×1.6×10-19=1×10-6 s=1 μs
