A particle of mass m with charge q moving with a uniform speed v normal to a uniform magnetic field B , describe a circular path of radius r. Derive expression for the (i) time period of revolution and (ii) kinetic energy of the particle

Answer»

Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:



the magnetic force on a moving CHARGE q with velocity v m/s perpendicular to its motion is qvb

now qvb is the force that provides the REQUIRED centripetal force,
hence qvb = mv​2/r

or r = mv/qb

now, the time period is 

T =2π​r/v

or T= [2π​(mv/qb)]/v = 2πm/qb

Kinetic energy of the particle will be mv2/2, as motion of OBJECT under magnetic field does not change the MAGNITUDE of the velocity.
