Question:

An electron moves with a velocity of $1200 m\, s^{-1}$ in a magnetic field of 0.4 T at an angle of 30°. What will be the approximate radius of its path?

(Take e/m of electron = $1.76 × 10^{11} C\, kg^{-1}$)

Options:

$9 × 10^{-8} m$

$8.6 × 10^{-9} m$

4.4 x 10-10 m

1.5 x 10-11 m

Correct Answer:

$8.6 × 10^{-9} m$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $8.6 × 10^{-9} m$
