Q71 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (25 Jul Shift 2) · Physics

An electron with energy 0.1keV moves at right angle to the earth's magnetic field of 1×10-4Wbm-2. The frequency of revolution of the electron will be
(Take mass of electron =9.0×10-31 kg)

  • A
    1.6×105 Hz
  • B
    5.6×105 Hz
  • Correct answer
    C
    2.8×106 Hz
  • D
    1.8×106 Hz

Solution

The frequency of revolution of the electron is f=eB2πm, here, e is charge of electron, B is magnetic field and m is mass of electron.

So, f=1.6×10-19×10-42π×9×10-31=2.8×106 Hz

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