State under what conditions will a charged particle moving through a uniform magnetic field travel in (i) a straight line (ii) a circular path (iii) a helical path.

Answer»

(i) A charged particle travels undeviated through a magnetic field \(\vec B\), if its velocity \(\vec v\) is parallel or antiparallel to \(\vec B\). In this case, the magnetic force on the charge is zero. 

(ii) A charged particle travels in a circular path within a magnetic field \(\vec B\), if its velocity \(\vec v\) is perpendicular to \(\vec B\)

(iii) A charged particle travels in a helical path through a magnetic field \(\vec B\), if its velocity \(\vec v\) is inclined at an angle θ to \(\vec B\), 0 < θ < 90°. In this case, the component of \(\vec v\) parallel to \(\vec B\) is unaffected by the magnetic field. The radius and pitch of the helix are determined respectively by the perpendicular and parallel components of \(\vec v\).

An electron in a TV picture tube moves horizontally with a speed 2 × 107 m/s. It is deflected upward by a horizontal magnetic field of induction 10-3 T. Find the magnitude of the force acting on the electron due to the action of the magnetic field.

Answer»

Data : e = 1.6 × 10-19 C, 

v = 2 × 107 m/s, 

B = 10-3 T

The magnitude of the magnetic force,

Fm = evB (∵\(\vec v\)\(\vec B\))

= (1.6 × 10-19 C)(2 × 107 m/s) (10-3 T)

= 3.2 × 10-15 N = 3.2 fN
