CBSE - Class 12 Physics Moving Charges and Magnetism Worksheet
In a chamber, a uniform magnetic field of 6.5 G (1 G = $10^{-4}$ T) is maintained. An electron is shot into the field with a speed of $4.8 \times 10^6 m s^{-1}$ normal to the field. Explain why the path of the electron is a circle. Determine the radius of the circular orbit. ($e = 1.5 \times 10^{-19}$ C, $m_e = 9.1\times 10^{-31}$ kg), obtain the frequency of revolution of the electron in its circular orbit. Does the answer depend on the speed of the electron? Explain.
