Force on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field
Question

A particle with charge q, moving with a momentum p, enters a uniform magnetic field normally. The magnetic field has magnitude B and is confined to a region of width d, where d<  pBq. If the particle is deflected by an angle θ in crossing the field, then

Moderate
Solution

From figure, it is clear that

sinθ=dr,   Also  r=  pqB       sinθ=Bqdp
