F = BVq sin θ

θ = 90

F = BVq

F = μ 0 I 2 π R × V × e = 2 × 10 7 × 5 20 × 10 2 × 10 5 × 1.6 × 10 19

Ionized hydrogen atoms and α -particles with same momenta enters perpendicular to a constant magnetic field, B. The ratio of their radii of their paths rH : r α will be :

A. 1 : 2

B. 4 : 1

C. 1 : 4

D. 2 : 1

Correct Answer is Option (D)

Radius of the path (r) = m v q B = p q B

So, the radius for H-atom rH = p e B

The radius for α particle r α = p 2 e B

r H r α = p e B p 2 e B = 2 1

   

4. ⇒  (NEET 2016 Phase 2)

An electron is moving in a circular path under the influence of a transverse magnetic field of 3.57 × 10-2 T. If the value of e/m is 1.76 × 1011 C kg 1, the frequency of revoluation of the electron is

A. 1 GHz

B. 100 MHz

C. 62.8 MHz

D. 6.28 MHz

Correct Answer is Option (A)

Frequency of revolution of charge in magnetic field is given as

F = q B 2 π m

= ( 1.76 × 10 11 ) × 3.57 × 10 2 2 × 3.14

= 109 Hz

A proton and an alpha particle both enter a region of uniform magnetic field B, moving at right angles to the field B. If the radius of circular orbits for both the particles is equal and the kinetic energy acquired by proton is 1 MeV, the energy acquired by the alpha particle will be

A. 1.5 MeV

B. 1 MeV

C. 4 MeV

D. 0.5 MeV

Correct Answer is Option (B)

As we know, F = qvB = m v 2 R

R = m v q B = 2 m ( k E ) q B

Since R is same so, K E q 2 m

Therefore KE of α particle

= q 2 m = ( 2 ) 2 4 = 1 M e V

An alternating electric field, of frequency v , is applied across the does (radius = R) of a cyclotron that is being used to accelerate protons (mass = m). The operating magnetic field (B) used in the cyclotron and the kinetic energy (K) of the proton beam, produced by it, are given by

A. B = m υ e   and   K = 2 m π 2 υ 2 R 2

B. B = 2 π m υ e    K = m 2 π υ R 2

C. B = 2 π m υ e    K = 2 m π 2 v 2 R 2

D. B = m υ e    K = m 2 π υ R 2

Correct Answer is Option (C)

Time period of cyclotron is

T = 1 v = 2 π m e B ; B = 2 π m e v ; R = m v e B = p e B

P = e B R = e × 2 π m v e R = 2 π m v R

10. ⇒  (AIPMT 2011 Prelims)

A uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are acting along the same direction in a certain region. If an electron is projected in the region such that its velocity is pointed along the direction of fields, then the electron

A. will turn towards right of direction of motion

B. speed will decrease

C. speed will increase

D. will turn towards left of direction of motion

Correct Answer is Option (B)

v and B are in same direction so that magnetic force on electron becomes zero, only electric force acts. But force on electron due to electric field is opposite to the direction of velocity.

   

11. ⇒  (AIPMT 2010 Mains)

A particle having a mass of 10 2 kg carries a charge of 5 × 10 8 C. The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity of 105 m s 1 in the presence of electric field E and magnetic field B . To keep the particle moving in a horizontal direction, it is necessary that
(1)   B should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity and E should be along the direction of velocity

(2)  Both B and E should be along the direction of velocity

(3)  Both B and E are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the direction of velocity.

(4)   B should be along the direction of velocity and E should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity

Which one of the following pairs of statements is possible ?

A. (1) and (3)

B. (3) and (4)

C. (2) and (3)

D. (2) and (4)

Correct Answer is Option (C)

Force due to electric field acts along the direction of the electric field but force due to the magnetic field acts along a direction perpendicular to both the velocity of the charged particle and the magnetic field. Hence both statements (2) and (3) are true. In statement (2), magnetic force is zero, so, electric force will keep the particle continue to move in horizontal direction. In statement (3), both electric and magnetic forces will be opposite to each other. If their magnitudes will be equal then the particle will continue horizontal motion.
