Q.

A non-relativistic electron originates at a point A lying on the axis of a straight solenoid and moves with velocity v at an angle α to the axis. The magnetic induction of the field is equal to B. Find the distance r from the axis to the point on the screen into which the electron strikes. The screen is oriented at right angles In the axis and is located at a distance  from the point A.

Detailed Solution

Let the axis of the solenoid is along the z-axis. Magnetic field of the solenoid is along the z-axis. The charged particle enters into the magnetic field at an angle α with the axis of the solenoid.
The magnetic force (qv×B) on the charged is in x-y plane perpendicular to the magnetic field.
The component of velocity in the x-y plane is v0=vsinα. The path of the particle in the x-y plane is circular as shown in Fig.

The radius of the circular path is

R=mv0qB=mvsinαqB

and           ω=qBm

x and y coordinates are respectively

x=-(R-Rcosωt)=R(cosωt-1)

y=-Rsinωt

vy=dydt=-Rωcosωt

and  vz=v0cosα

z=vzt=vtcosθ

Screen is perpendicular to z-axis (i.e., in x-y plane), and its position is z=

=vt0cosα

t0=vcosα

Let the particle strikes on the screen at point px0,y0,

r=x02+y02=Rcosωt0-12+-Rsinωt02

    =R1+cos2ωt0-2cosωt0+sin2ωt0

     =R2-2cosωt0=2Rsinωt02

Here           R=mvsinαqB

                    ω=qBm, t0=vcosα and q=e

Thus,           r=2mvsinαeBsineBm·vcosα

                     r=2ρsinϕ2

where,           ρ=mveBsinα

and                ϕ=eBmvcosα
