The radius of the circle is 12 cm.
Explanation:
F(m) = qvB sin(90°)
Applied potential difference "V" = 12 kV = 12 × 10^3 V
Speed of a charged particle, v =1.0 × 10^6 m s−1
Magnetic field strength "B" = 0.2 T
As per the question, a charged particle is injected perpendicularly into the magnetic field.
We know:
qV = 1 / 2mv^2
m / q = 2V / v^2
= 2 × 12×10^3 / (1×106)^2
= 24×10^−9
r = mv / qB
r=24×10^−9 × 10^6 / 0.2
r = 12 × 10^−2 m
= 12 cm
Thus the radius of the circle is 12 cm.
