CBSEENPH12047747

An electron moves in a circular orbit with a uniform speed v. It produces a magnetic field B at the centre of the circle. The radius of the circle is proportional, to

  • Bv

  • vB

  • vB

  • Bv

Solution

C.

vB

The time period of electron moving in angular orbit

T = circumference of circular pathspeed T =  2πrνand equivalent current due to electron flowI = eT   =e2πrνI  =2πr

Magnetic field at centre of circle

B = μo I2r    = μo e ν4 π r2 r  νB
