An electron (mass = 9xx10^(-31)kg, charge = 1.6xx10^(-19)C) whose kinetic energy is 7.2xx10^(-18)joule is moving in a circular orbit in a magnetic field of 9xx10^(-5)Wb//m^(2). The radius of the orbit is _____ .

Answer»

1.25 cm
2.5 cm
12.5 cm
25.0 cm

Solution :`E=7.2xx10^(-18)J`
`q=1.6xx10^(-19)C`
`m=9xx10^(-31)kg`
`B=9xx10^(-5)Wb//m^(2)`
Radius of CIRCULAR path `r=sqrt(2mE)/(qB)`
`thereforer=sqrt((2xx9xx10^(-31)xx7.2xx10^(-18))/(1.6xx10^(-19)xx9xx10^(-15)))`
= 0.25 m = 25 cm
