     The radium of a circular path of an electron moving in the magnetic field to its path is equal to:

    A) \[\frac{m\upsilon }{Be}\]

    B) \[\frac{me}{B}\]

    C)  \[\frac{mE}{B}\]

    D) \[\frac{Be}{m\upsilon }\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The centripetal force on the electron due to circular path \[=\frac{m{{\upsilon }^{2}}}{r}\]                  ...(1) Force on the electron due to magnetic field is \[=Be\upsilon \]                ...(2) Now equating the equation (1) and (2) We have  \[\frac{m{{\upsilon }^{2}}}{r}=Be\upsilon \] (Where r is the radius of circular path) \[r=\frac{m\upsilon }{Be}\]
