    A proton with energy of 2 MeV enters a uniform magnetic field of 2.5 T normally. The magnetic force on the proton is  (Take mass of proton to be \[1.6\times {{10}^{-27}}kg\])

    A)  \[3\times {{10}^{-12}}N\]                           

    B)  \[8\times {{10}^{-10}}N\]

    C)  \[8\times {{10}^{-12}}N\]                           

    D)  \[2\times {{10}^{-10}}N\]

    E)  \[3\times {{10}^{-10}}N\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Energy of proton  = 2 MeV \[=2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times {{10}^{6}}J\] \[=3.2\times {{10}^{-13}}J\] Magnetic field  = 2.5 T Mass of proton (m) \[=1.6\times {{10}^{-27}}kg\] Energy of proton, \[E=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]                  \[v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\]             ?(i) Magnetic force on proton \[F=B\,q\,v\,\sin 90{}^\circ \]     \[=B\,q\,v\] Substituting the value of v from Eq. (i) \[F=Bq\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\] \[=2.5\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\sqrt{\frac{2\times 3.2\times {{10}^{-13}}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-27}}}}\] \[=8\times {{10}^{-12}}N\]
