Q114 / 180 · AIIMS 2011 · Physics

A proton travels few distance in an electric field, then it enters a crossed magnetic field of $1 \mathrm{~T}$ and radius $0.2 \mathrm{~m}$, find the velocity of proton.

  • Correct answer
    A
    $0.2 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
  • B
    $0.2 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
  • C
    $0.2 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$

Solution

Given, $B=1 \mathrm{~T}, r=0.2 \mathrm{~m}$ $$ r=\frac{m v}{q B} $$ i.e, $\quad v=\frac{0.2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1}{1.6 \times 10^{-27}}=0.2 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
