An electron, a proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular orbits of radii re, rp, r$_\alpha$ respectively in a uniform magnetic field B. The relation between re, rp, r$_\alpha$ is:
A
re < r$_\alpha$ < rp
B
re > rp = r$_\alpha$
C
re < rp = r$_\alpha$
D
re < rp < r$_\alpha$

Explanation

When a charged particle moves in a magnetic field then the charged particle moves in a circular path. So,

${{m{v^2}} \over r}$ = Bqv

$\Rightarrow $$\,\,\, r = {{mv} \over {Bq}} We know kinetic energy, K = {1 \over 2} mv2 \therefore\,\,\, mv = \sqrt {2Km} \therefore\,\,\, r = {{\sqrt {2Km} } \over {Bq}} According to the question, Ke (electron) = Kp (proton) = K\alpha (Alpha particle) = K = constant, and all of them are in uniform magnetic field. \therefore B = constant. \therefore\,\,\, r \propto {{\sqrt m } \over q} For proton (1H1), mass = m, and charge = e \therefore\,\,\, rp \propto {{\sqrt m } \over e} For alpha particle (2H4), mass = 4m and charge = 2e \therefore\,\,\, r \alpha \propto {{\sqrt {4m} } \over {2e}} \propto {{\sqrt m } \over e} \therefore$$\,\,\,$ rp = r$\alpha$

For electron,

charge = e

and mass (me) = 9.1 $\times$ 10$-$31 kg

and mass of proton = 1.67 $\times$ 10$-$27 kg

$\therefore\,\,\,$ mass of electron < mass of proton.

re $\propto$ ${{\sqrt {{m_e}} } \over e}$ < rp

$\therefore\,\,\,$ re < rp = r$\propto$

The dipole moment of a circular loop carrying a current I, is m and the magnetic field at the centre of the loop is B1. When the dipole moment is doubled by keeping the current constant, the magnetic field at the centre of the loop is ${{B_2}}$. The ratio ${{{B_1}} \over {{B_2}}}$ is:
A
2
B
$\sqrt 3$
C
$\sqrt 2$
D
$1 \over \sqrt 2$

Explanation

Dipole moment, M = IA

Let radius of circular loop = R

$\therefore\,\,\,$ M  =  I $\times$ $\pi$R2

Later, we keep current constant ,

But dipole moment becomes double, let new radius = R1

$\therefore\,\,\,$ 2M  =  I $\times$ $\pi$R$_1^2$

$\Rightarrow $$\,\,\, 2I\pi R2 = I\pi R_1^2 \Rightarrow$$\,\,\,$ R1  =  $\sqrt 2$ R

At the center of circular ring, the magnetic field,

B  =  ${{{\mu _0}I} \over {2R}}$

$\therefore\,\,\,$ B1  =  ${{{\mu _0}I} \over {2R}}$   and    B2 = ${{{\mu _0}I} \over {2 \times \left( {\sqrt 2 R} \right)}}$

$\therefore\,\,\,$ ${{{B_1}} \over {{B_2}}}$  =   ${{{{{\mu _0}I} \over {2R}}} \over {{{{\mu _0}I} \over {2\sqrt 2 \,R}}}}$

= ${{2\sqrt 2 } \over 2}$

= $\sqrt 2$
