Question

The magnetic force on a moving charged particle is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. In a region of uniform magnetic field, the charged particle, therefore, undergoes circular motion with the magnetic force providing the centripetal force. Show that the momentum of a particle of charge q in a region of uniform magnetic field B can be determined by measuring the radius R of the circular orbit. v R q uniform magnetic field into the page. In what direction and of what magnitude would a uniform electric field need to be applied so that the charged particle would move in a straight line?

Step 1

In a region of uniform magnetic field, this force is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle, causing it to undergo circular motion. To determine the momentum of the particle, we can use the fact that the centripetal force required for circular Show more…
