Question
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,
It is independent of bot R and v.
