    A proton of mass \[1.67\times {{10}^{-27}}kg\] enters a uniform magnetic field of 1 T at point A as shown in figure, with a speed of\[{{10}^{7}}m{{s}^{-1}}\]. The magnetic field is directed normal to the plane of paper downwards. The proton emerges out of the magnetic field at point\[C\], then the distance \[AC\] and the value of angle \[\theta \] will respectively be

    A)  \[0.7m,\text{ }45{}^\circ \]

    B)  \[0.7\text{ }m,\,\,90{}^\circ \]

    C)  \[0.14\text{ }m,\text{ }90{}^\circ \]

    D)  \[0.14\text{ }m,\text{ }45{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    From the symmetry of figure, the angle \[\theta ={{45}^{o}}\]. The path of moving proton in a normal magnetic field is circular. If r is the radius of the circular path, then from the figure \[AC=2r\,\cos \,\,{{45}^{o}}=2r\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}r\]    ?..(i) As   \[Bqv=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}\] or \[r=\frac{mv}{Bq}\] \[AC=\frac{\sqrt{2}mv}{Bq}=\frac{\sqrt{2}\times 1.67\times {{10}^{-27}}\times {{10}^{7}}}{1\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}\] \[=0.14m\]
