    If an electron moving with the kinetic energy of \[6\times {{10}^{-16}}J\] enters perpendicularly into the magnetic field of intensity \[6\times {{10}^{-3}}Wb/\text{ }{{m}^{2}},\] then the radius of the path described by it will be

    A)  3.42cm                                

    B)  4.23cm

    C)  5.17cm                                

    D)  7.7cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    KE of electron  \[KE=6\times {{10}^{-16}}J\] \[B=6\times {{10}^{-3}}Wb/{{m}^{2}}\] \[q=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}C\] \[m=9\times {{10}^{-31}}kg\] Radius of circular path,                 \[r=\frac{mv}{Bq}\] But     \[KE=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6\times {{10}^{-16}}}{9\times {{10}^{-31}}}}\]                 \[=\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}\times {{10}^{15}}}\]                 \[=3.6\times {{10}^{7}}m/s\] \[\therefore \]  \[r=\frac{9\times {{10}^{-31}}\times 3.6\times {{10}^{7}}}{6\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}\]                 \[=3.42\times {{10}^{-2}}m\]                 \[=3.42cm\]
