An electron of mass m and charge q is travelling with a speed v along a circular path of radius r at right angles to a uniform of magnetic field B. If speed of the electron is doubled and the magnetic field is halved, then resulting path would have a radius of ____ .

Answer»

`R/4`
`r/2`
2r
4r

Solution :For the charge moving in the plane PERPENDICULARLY to the plane of magnetic FIELD,
`Bqv=(mv^(2))/rrArrr=(mv)/(qB)" If "v_(1)=2v`,
and taking `B_(1)=B_(2)`
The RADIUS of path `r_(1)=(2mv)/q^(B/2)=(4mv)/(qB)=4r`
