    The radius of curvature of path of a charged particle in uniform magnetic field is directly proportional to :      

    A)  flux density in the field

    B)  energy of the particle

    C)  charge on the particle

    D)  the momentum of the particle

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    The necessary centripetal force for circular path is provided by the magnetic force i.e., \[\frac{m{{\upsilon }^{2}}}{r}=q\upsilon B\] So, the radius of circular path is                 \[r=\frac{m\upsilon }{qB}\] Hence, the radius of circular path is directly proportional to \[m\upsilon \] i.e., momentum of particle,
