Question 13 Marks
A particle moves in a circle of diameter $1.0\ cm$ under the action of a magnetic field of $0.40T$. An electric field of $200\ Vm^{-1}$ makes the path straight. Find the charge/ mass ratio of the particle.

$B = 0.4T,$
$\text{E}=200\frac{\text{V}}{\text{m}}$
The path will straighten, if $\text{qE}=\text{quB}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}=\frac{\text{rqB}\times\text{B}}{\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}=\frac{\text{rqB}^2}{\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{q}}{\text{m}}=\frac{\text{E}}{\text{B}^2\text{r}}=\frac{200}{0.4\times0.4\times0.5\times10^{-2}}$
$=2.5\times10^5\text{c/kg}$

$\overrightarrow{\text{B}}=\text{B}_0\overrightarrow{\text{e}}_\text{r}$
$\text{l}=2\pi\text{a}$

$\text{i}=5\text{A},\ \text{l}=50\text{cm}=0.5\text{m}$
For force on a current carrying wire in an uniform magnetic field
Mass = m
$\mu\text{R}=\text{F}$
Edge = l
$\text{F}=\text{ilB}\sin\theta$
Current anticlockwise
Length = l, Current $=\text{l}\hat{\text{i}}$
