Force on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field
Question

A particle of mass M and charge Q is projected in a uniform magnetic field of induction B in a direction perpendicular to the field. Then length of path traversed by the particle in time t=2πMQB is

Moderate
Solution

The particle will rotate in a cicular path of radius R = VMQB.

So length of path traversed = 2πR =2πMVQB
