Moving Charges and Magnetism

  1. ​An α-particle moves in a circular path of radius 0.83 cm in the presence of a magnetic field of 0.25 Wb/m². The wavelength associated with the particle will be :​​
    1. 1 Å
    2. 0.1 Å ​
    3. 10 Å ​
    4. 0.01 Å
Correct Option: D

Wavelength ​

λ =
h
⇒ λ =
h
,
pmv

​h = plank’s constant = 6.63 × 10–34 J.S ​
For circular motion = Fc = qvB
r =
mv²
qVB ⇒
mv
= r
rqB

r =
mv
mv ⇒ qrB
qB

⇒ (2e)(0.83 × 10-2)
1
4

λ =
6.6 × 10-34 × 4
2 × 1.6 × 10-19 × 0.83 × 10-2

λ = 9.93 × 10-34 + 21 ≈ 0.01 Å
