Question

A proton of mass 1.67×1027 kg and charge 1.68×1019 C is projected with a speed of 2×106ms1 at an angle of 60o to the Xaxis. If a uniform magnetic field of 0.10 T is applied along Yaxis, the path of proton is :

A
a circle of radius 0.2 m and time period π×107s
B
a circle of radius 0.1 m and time period 2π×107s
C
a helix of radius 0.1 m and time period 2π×107s
D
a helix of radius 0.2 m and time period 4π×107s
Solution
Verified by Toppr

vx=vcosθ
vy=vsinθ
Since vy0, this component will be responsible for motion along the direction B( i.e yaxis).
The path will be helical and pitch will be constant.
Radius r of the circle perpendicular to the magnetic field B

r=mvcosθqB=1.6×1027×(2×106×cos600)1.6×1019×0.1=0.1m
