A uniform magnetic field is at right angle to the direction of motion of protons. As a result, the protons describe a circular path of radius 2 .5 cm. If the speed of the protons is doubled, then the radius of the circular path will be

a
0.5 cm
b
2.5 cm
c
5.0 cm
d
7.5 cm

detailed solution

Correct option is C

mv2r=evB  or  r=(mv/eB)When v is doubled, r is also doubled, i.e., 5.0 cm.
