    An electron moves in a circular path of radius 15 cm in a magnetic field of intensity \[B=4\times {{10}^{-4}}\,T\]. The velocity of electron is :

    A)  \[1.05\times {{10}^{7}}m/s\]

    B)  \[5\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\]

    C)  \[3.2\times {{10}^{3}}m/s\]    

    D)  zero

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Magnetic force provides- the necessary centripetal force. The magnetic force acting on the electron is \[F=qvB\] ... (i) Centripetal force is \[F=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}\] ... (ii) Equating Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[r=\frac{mv}{eB}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[v=\frac{eBr}{m}\] Given, \[B=4\times {{10}^{-4}}T,\,e=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}C\], \[r=0.15\,m,\,m=9.1\times {{10}^{-31}}kg\] \[\therefore \] \[v=\frac{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 4\times {{10}^{-4}}\times 0.15}{9.1\times {{10}^{-31}}}\] \[v=1.05\times {{10}^{7}}m/s\]
