Motion of a charged particle
Question

A beam of protons  with a velocity 4.0×105 ms-1 enters a uniform magnetic field of 0.2 T at an angle of 300 to the magnetic field. If the radius of the helical path taken by the proton beam is  p×102 m, then find p (Take mproton=1.6×1027kg)

Moderate
Solution

The radius of helical path  r=mvBq
 r=mvsinθBq=1.6×10274×105sin3000.21.6×1019
=1×102 m
