A particle having charge q enters a region of uniform magnetic field →B (directed perpendicularly inwards to the plane of paper), and is deflected a distance y after travelling a distance x in horizontal direction as shown in figure. Then the magnitude of momentum of the particle is :
Why this question ? Tip: The path followed by a moving charge particle in a uniform magnetic field (→V⊥→B) will be circular. Tip: The parameters y & x can be related by using geometry for the circular arc. |
