The radius of curvature of the path of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is directly proportional toA) the particle's charge.B) the particle's momentum.C) the particle's energy.D) the flux density of the field.E)All of these are correct

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) the particle's momentum.

Explanation:

We know that

The centripetal force  on the particle when its moving in the radius R and velocity V

[tex]F_c=\dfrac{m\times V^2}{R}[/tex]

The magnetic force on the particle when the its moving with velocity V in the magnetic filed B and having charge q

[tex]F_m=q\times V\times B[/tex]

At the equilibrium condition

[tex]F_m=F_c[/tex]

[tex]q\times V\times B=\dfrac{m\times V^2}{R}[/tex]

[tex]R=\dfrac{m\times V}{q\times B}[/tex]

Momentum = m V

Therefore we can say that the radius of curvature is directly proportional to the particle momentum.

B) the particle's momentum.
