Moving Charges and Magnetism

Question:

If charge is moving perpendicular to uniform magnetic field then its time period of revolution is:

Options:

independent of its radius of circular path

independent of magnitude of magnetic field

independent of magnitude of charge

independent of mass of charged particle

Correct Answer:

independent of its radius of circular path

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → independent of its radius of circular path

The time period (T) of revolution is -

$T=\frac{2πr}{v}=\frac{2π.\frac{mv}{qB}}{v}$

$⇒T=\frac{2πm}{qB}$

Hence, it is independent of it's Radius.
