A uniform magnetic field acts right angles to the. direction of motion of electrons. As a result, the electron moves in a circular path of radius 2 cm. If the speed of electrons is doubled, then the radius of the circular path will be

a
2.0 cm
b
0.5cm
c
4.0 cm
d
1.0cm

detailed solution

Correct option is C

r=mvqB  or  r∝vAs v is doubled, the radius also becomes double. Hence radius = 2x2= 4cm.
