Doubly ionized helium ions are projected with a speed of 10 km s−110 \text{ km s}^{-1} perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.0 T1.0 \text{ T}. Calculate the time taken by an ion to complete the circle.

Options

  1. A3.14×10−7 s3.14 \times 10^{-7} \text{ s}
  2. B2.62×10−7 s2.62 \times 10^{-7} \text{ s}
  3. C1.31×10−7 s1.31 \times 10^{-7} \text{ s}
  4. D0.65×10−7 s0.65 \times 10^{-7} \text{ s}

Correct answer

C. 1.31×10−7 s1.31 \times 10^{-7} \text{ s}

Step-by-step solution

The time period of a charged particle moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field is independent of its speed and is given by:

T=2πmqBT = \dfrac{2\pi m}{qB}

For a doubly ionized helium ion (alpha particle):

Mass, m≈4×1.67×10−27 kgm \approx 4 \times 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}

Charge, q=2e=2×1.6×10−19 Cq = 2e = 2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}

Substituting the given values B=1.0 TB = 1.0 \text{ T} and π=3.14\pi = 3.14:

T=2×3.14×4×1.67×10−272×1.6×10−19×1.0T = \dfrac{2 \times 3.14 \times 4 \times 1.67 \times 10^{-27}}{2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.0}

T=3.14×4×1.671.6×10−8 sT = \dfrac{3.14 \times 4 \times 1.67}{1.6} \times 10^{-8} \text{ s}

T≈1.31×10−7 sT \approx 1.31 \times 10^{-7} \text{ s}
