Question

Problem 87GP

IP A charged particle moves in a horizontal plane with a speed of 8.70 × 106 m/s. When this particle encounters a uniform magnetic field in the vertical direction it begins to move on a circular path of radius 15.9 cm. (a) If the magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.21 T, what is the charge-to-mass ratio (q/m)of this particle? (b) If the radius of the circular path were greater than 15.9 cm, would the corresponding charge-to-mass ratio be greater than, less than, or the same as that found in part (a)? Explain. (Assume that the magnetic field remains the same.)

Solution

Solution 87 GP:

Step 1 of 3:-

a)

Here, we have to find the charge to mass ratio for the particle.

Given that,

.

The radius of circular path is,

.

.

We know that,

           

           .

So, the charge to mass ratio is 4522.
