A charge particle moves along circular path in a uniform magnetic field in a cyclotron. The kinetic energy of the charge particle increases to 44 times its initial value. What will be the ratio of new radius to the original radius of circular path of the charge particle?

Options

  1. A1:11: 1
  2. B1:21: 2
  3. C2:12: 1
  4. D1:41: 4

Correct answer

C. 2:12: 1

Step-by-step solution

Radius of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field perpendicular to its velocity is given by, R=mvqBR = \dfrac{mv}{qB}.

mvmv can be written in terms of kinetic energy as mv=2m(KE)mv = \sqrt{2m\left(KE\right)}. Therefore,

R=mvqB=2m(KE)qBR = \dfrac{mv}{qB} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2m\left(KE\right)}}{qB}

⇒R∝KE⇒R2R1=K2K1=41=21⇒ R ∝ \sqrt{KE} ⇒ \dfrac{{R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{{K}_{2}}{{K}_{1}}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{4}{1}} = \dfrac{2}{1}
