    An electron having charge \[1.6\,\times {{10}^{-19}}\,C\] and mass \[9\times {{10}^{-31}}\,kg\] is moving with \[4\times {{10}^{6}}\,kg\] speed in a magnetic field of \[2\times {{10}^{-1}}\] tesla in a circular orbit. The force acting on an electron and the radius of circular orbit will be:

    A) \[1.28\,\times {{10}^{-14}}\,N,\,\,1.1\,\times {{10}^{-3}}\,m\]

    B) \[1.28\,\times {{10}^{15}}\,N,\,1.2\,\times {{10}^{-12}}m\]

    C) \[1.28\,\times {{10}^{-13}}\,N,\,1.1\,\times {{10}^{-4}}\,m\]

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Force produced on an electron is given by \[F=e\upsilon B=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 4\times {{10}^{6}}\times 2\times {{10}^{-1}}\] \[=1.28\times {{10}^{-13}}N\] Since electron is moving in circular orbit So,       \[\frac{m{{\upsilon }^{2}}}{r}=e\upsilon B\] or            \[r=\frac{m\upsilon }{eB}=\frac{9\times {{10}^{-31}}\times 4\times {{10}^{6}}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 2\times {{10}^{-1}}}\] \[=1.1\times {{10}^{-4}}m\]
