The radius of curvature of the path of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is directly proportional to the |
charge of the particle momentum of the particle kinetic energy of the particle flux density of the field |
momentum of the particle |
The correct answer is Option (2) → momentum of the particle The radius of curvature of a charged particle moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field is given by: $r = \frac{mv}{qB}$ Here, $m$ is mass, $v$ is velocity, $q$ is charge, and $B$ is magnetic flux density. Momentum of the particle: $p = mv$ Therefore, $r = \frac{p}{qB}$ Hence, the radius of curvature is directly proportional to the momentum of the particle. Answer: momentum of the particle |
