Now Safiya and Amy try a homework problem. Consider an electron moving with a speed of 8.70 106 m/s at right angles to a constant magnetic field, with B = 1.7 T. What is the radius of the circular path of the electron? r = m

Respuesta :

Answer:

Radius of circular path will be [tex]29.10\times 10^{-6}m[/tex]

Explanation:

Mass of electron [tex]m=9.1\times 10^{-31}kg[/tex]

Charge on electron [tex]q=1.6\times 10^{-19}C[/tex]

Speed of electron is given [tex]v=8.7\times 10^6m/sec[/tex]

Magnetic field is given B = 1.7 T

We have to find the radius of the circular path

Radius of circular path is equal to [tex]r=\frac{mv}{qB}[/tex] , here m is mass v is velocity q is charge and B is magnetic field

So [tex]r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 8.7\times 10^6}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.7}=29.10\times 10^{-6}m[/tex]

So radius of circular path will be [tex]29.10\times 10^{-6}m[/tex]
