NEET2009PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
Under the influence of a uniform magnetic field, a charged particle moves with constant speed v in a circle of radius R . The time period of rotation of the particle
Options
- Adepends on v and not on R
- Bdepends on R and not on v
- Cis independent of both v and R
- Ddepends on both v and R
Correct answer
C. is independent of both v and R
Step-by-step solution
The time period of circular motion of the charged particle is given by aligned & T = 2 r v = 2 v mv Bq & T = 2 m Bq aligned Hence, time period of rotation of the charged particle in uniform magnetic field is independent of both v and R .
