Moving Charges and Magnetism

  1. A charged particle of charge q and mass m enters perpendicularly in a magnetic field . Kinetic energy of the particle is E; then frequency of rotation is​​
    1. qB
    2. qB
      2πm
    3. 2BE
      2πm
    4. qB
      2πE
Correct Option: B

For circular path in magnetic field, mrω² = qvB

⇒ ω² =
qvB
As v = rω
mr

∴ ω² =
q(rω)B
⇒ ω =
qB
mrm

​ ∴ If ν is frequency of roatation, then ​
v =
ω
⇒ v =
qB
2πm
