Question:

What is the radius of the path of an electron moving with velocity of $3 × 10^7 m/s$ in a magnetic field of $6 × 10^{-4} T$ perpendicular to it?

Options:

14 cm

28 cm

56 cm

112 cm

Correct Answer:

28 cm

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 28 cm

The radius of the path of an electron is -

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}$

$=\frac{9.1×10^{-31}×3×10^7}{1.6×10^{-19}×6×10^{-4}}$

$≃28cm$
