A beam of cathode rays is subjected to crossed Electric ( EE ) and Magnetic fields (B)(B). The fields are adjusted such that the beam is not deflected. The specific charge of the cathode rays is given by (where VV is the potential difference between cathod and anode)

Options

  1. AB22VE2\frac{\mathrm{B}^2}{2 \mathrm{VE}^2}
  2. B2VB2E2\frac{2 \mathrm{VB}^2}{\mathrm{E}^2}
  3. C2VE2 B2\frac{2 \mathrm{VE}^2}{\mathrm{~B}^2}
  4. DE22VB2\frac{\mathrm{E}^2}{2 \mathrm{VB}^2}

Correct answer

D. E22VB2\frac{\mathrm{E}^2}{2 \mathrm{VB}^2}

Step-by-step solution

As the electron beam is not deflected, then or Fm=FeBev=Eev=EB\begin{aligned}\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{m}}& =\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{e}}\\ \mathrm{Bev}& =\mathrm{Ee}\\ \mathrm{v}& =\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{B}} \end{aligned} As the electron moves from cathode to anode, its potential energy at the cathode appears as its kinetic energy at the anode. If VV is the potential difference between the anode and cathode, then potential energy of the electron at cathode =eV=\mathrm{eV}. Also, kinetic energy of the electron at anode =12mv2=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2. According to law of conservation of energy 12mv2=eVv=2eVm\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2 & =\mathrm{eV}\\ \mathrm{v}& =\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{eV}}{\mathrm{m}}} \end{aligned} From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have 2eVm=EBem=E22VB2\begin{aligned} \sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{eV}}{\mathrm{m}}}& =\frac{E}{\mathrm{ B}}\\ \frac{\mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{m}}& =\frac{\mathrm{E}^2}{2 \mathrm{VB}^2} \end{aligned}
