    In an experiment, electrons are accelerated, from rest, by applying a voltage of 500 V. Calculate the radius of the path if a magnetic field 100 mT is then applied. [Charge of the electron \[=1.6\times {{10}^{-16}}C,\] Mass of the electron \[=9.1\times {{10}^{-31}}kg\]] [JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 11-Jan-2019 Morning]

    A) \[7.5m\]                        

    B) \[7.5\times {{10}^{-2}}m\]

    C) \[7.5\times {{10}^{-4}}m\]       

    D)                  \[7.5\times {{10}^{-3}}m\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The velocity acquired by the electron is given as follows : \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=eV\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 500}{9.1\times {{10}^{-31}}}}=1.33\times {{10}^{7}}m/s\] when the particle enters the magnetic field its speed remains unchanged \[\therefore \]\[\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}=qvB\Rightarrow r=\frac{mv}{qB}\] \[r=\frac{9.1\times {{10}^{-31}}\times 1.33\times {{10}^{7}}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 100\times {{10}^{-3}}}=7.56\times {{10}^{-4}}m\]
