  • question_answer
    A beam of cathode rays is subjected to crossed Electric (X) and Magnetic fields . The fields are adjusted such that the beam is not deflected. The specific charge of the cathode rays is given by (where V is the potential difference between cathod and anode)             [AIPMT (S) 2010]

    A)  \[\frac{{{B}^{2}}}{2V{{E}^{2}}}\]  

    B)       \[\frac{2V{{B}^{2}}}{{{E}^{2}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{2V{{E}^{2}}}{{{B}^{2}}}\]  

    D)       \[\frac{{{E}^{2}}}{2V{{B}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] As the electron beam is not deflected, then        
    \[{{F}_{m}}={{F}_{e}}\]
                or         \[Bev=Ee\]
    or         \[v=\frac{E}{B}\]                                  …(i)
    As the electron moves from cathode to anode, its potential energy at the cathode appears as its kinetic energy at the anode. If V is the potential difference between the anode and cathode, then potential energy of the electron at cathode \[=eV\]. Also, kinetic energy of the electron at anode \[v=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\]. According to law of conservation of energy
                \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=eV\]
    or         \[v=\sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m}}\]                                 …(ii)
    From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have
    \[\sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m}}=\frac{E}{B}\]
    or         \[\frac{e}{m}=\frac{{{E}^{2}}}{2V{{B}^{2}}}\]
