Q149 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 2) · Physics
A long solenoid has and carries current . An electron moves within the solenoid in a circle of radius perpendicular to the solenoid axis. If the speed of the electron is then the current in the solenoid is
(Take unit, mass of electron , charge of electron )
(Take unit, mass of electron , charge of electron )
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Given:
and
Now centripetal force will be provided by the magnetic force acting on the charge. Therefore,
and we also know that for long solenoid,
.
So,
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
