Vedclass · Accepted Answer

The charge to mass ratio satisfies: $(\frac{e}{m})_1 + (\frac{e}{m})_2 = 0$.

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The radius of a helical path is given by $R = \frac{mv_{\perp}}{qB}$. Since the paths are identical,$R_1 = R_2$,which implies $\frac{m_1 v_{\perp 1}}{q_1 B} = \frac{m_2 v_{\perp 2}}{q_2 B}$.Given that the particles traverse the paths in opposite senses,the charges must have opposite signs,i.e.,$q_1 = -q_2$.For the helical paths to be identical,the pitch $p = \frac{2\pi m v_{\parallel}}{qB}$ must also be the same. Since the sense of rotation is opposite,the angular frequency $\omega = \frac{qB}{m}$ must have opposite signs.If the paths are identical in geometry and pitch,the magnitude of the charge-to-mass ratio must be equal,but the signs must be opposite.Thus,$\frac{q_1}{m_1} = -\frac{q_2}{m_2}$,which leads to $\frac{q_1}{m_1} + \frac{q_2}{m_2} = 0$.

Two charged particles traverse identical helical paths in a completely opposite sense in a uniform magnetic field $B = B_0 \hat{k}$. Which of the following statements is true?

To which of the following quantities,the radius of the circular path of a charged particle moving at right angles to a uniform magnetic field is directly proportional?

Explain: Velocity selector.

$A$ uniform magnetic field acts at right angles to the direction of motion of electrons. As a result,the electron moves in a circular path of radius $2\, cm$. If the speed of the electrons is doubled,then the radius of the circular path will be.....$cm$.

An electron (mass $m$) is accelerated through a potential difference of $V$ and then it enters a magnetic field of induction $B$ normal to the field lines. The radius of the circular path is ($e$ = electronic charge).

If a proton of kinetic energy $8.35 \text{ MeV}$ enters a uniform magnetic field of $10 \text{ T}$ at right angles to the direction of the field,then the force acting on the proton is (Mass of proton $= 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}$ and charge of proton $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$)
