Practicing Success
A particle of charge q and mass m moving with a velocity v along x−axis enters the region x>0 with uniform magnetic field B along the k direction. What is the penetration of the particle in this region in the x−direction up to a distance d? |
Zero mv/2qB mv/qB 2mv/qB |
2mv/qB |
The particle move in a circle, the plane of the circle is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field. so, qvB = mv2/r and r= mv/qB Penetration is the diameter, i.e. 2r. |
