Q.

A particle having a charge of 10.0 μC and mass 1 μg moves in a circle of radius 10 cm under the influence of a magnetic field of induction 0.1 T. When the particle is at a point p, a uniform electric field is switched on so that the particle starts moving along the tangent with a uniform velocity. The electric field is

When the particle moves along a circle in the magnetic field B, the magnetic force is radially inward. If an electric field of proper magnitude is switched on which is directed radially outwards, the particle may experience no force. It will then move along a straight line with uniform velocity. This will be the case when

also\,\,r = \frac{{mv}}{{qB}} \Rightarrow v = \frac{{qBr}}{m}
So\,E = \frac{{q{B^2}r}}{m}
= \frac{{(10 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}) \times {{(0.1)}^2} \times 10 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}}{{1 \times {{10}^{ - 3}} \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}} = 10\;V/m
