CBSEENPH12040071

Under the influence of a uniform magnetic field. a charged particle is moving in a circle of radius R with constant speed v. The time period of the motion.

  • depends on v and not on R

  • depends on both R and v

  • is independent of both R and v

  • depends on R and not on v

Solution

C.

is independent of both R and v

To move on circular path in a magnetic field, a centripetal force is a provided by the magnetic force. 
when magnetic field is perpendicular to motion of charge particle, then
 i,e, 
fraction numerator m v squared over denominator R end fraction space equals space B q v
o r space R space equals fraction numerator m v over denominator B q end fraction
F u r t h e r comma space t i m e space p e r i o d space o f space t h e space m o t i o n
T space equals space fraction numerator 2 pi R over denominator v end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 2 pi open parentheses begin display style fraction numerator m v over denominator B q end fraction end style close parentheses over denominator v end fraction
T space equals fraction numerator 2 pi m over denominator B q end fraction
It is independent of bot R and v.
