Physics Question on Magnetism and matter
A proton is projected with speed v in magnetic field B of magnitude 1 T. The angle between velocity and magnetic field is 600 as shown below. The kinetic energy of a proton is 2 eV (mass of proton = 1.67×10−27kg, e = 1.6×10−19C). The pitch of the path of the proton is approximately?
A
6.28 x 10-2 m
B
6.28 x 10-4 m
C
3.14 x 10-2 m
D
3.14 x 10-4 m
Answer
6.28 x 10-4 m
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (B) : 6.28×10−4 m
