An electron moves in a circular orbit with a uniform speed vv. It produces a magnetic field BB at the centre of the circle. The radius of the circle is proportional to:

Options

  1. ABv\sqrt{\frac{B}{v}}
  2. BBv\frac{B}{v}
  3. CvB\sqrt{\frac{v}{B}}
  4. DvB\frac{v}{B}

Correct answer

C. vB\sqrt{\frac{v}{B}}

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic field (B)(B) at a point induced by a flowing current (I)(I) is given as, (B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 r}) Where (\mu_0) is the permeability of free space, and rr is the radius of the circular path. Substituting for II and rearranging, (B=μ0(ev2πr)2r⇒B=μ0ev4πr2⇒r2=μ0ev4πB⇒r2∝vB∴r∝vB\begin{aligned} & B=\frac{\mu_0\left(\frac{e v}{2 \pi r}\right)}{2 r} \\ \Rightarrow & B=\frac{\mu_0 e v}{4 \pi r^2} \\ \Rightarrow & r^2=\frac{\mu_0 e v}{4 \pi B} \\ \Rightarrow & r^2 \propto \frac{v}{B} \\ \therefore & r \propto \sqrt{\frac{v}{B}} \end{aligned}) Therefore, when an electron moves in a circular orbit with a uniform speed vv and produces a magnetic field BB at the centre of the circle, the radius of the circle is proportional to (\sqrt{\frac{v}{B}}).
