- #19-ais transverse to its initial velocity, (b) makes an angle of 30° with the initial velocity.Ans : Magnetic force on the electron provides the required centripetal force of the electron. Hence, the electron traces a circular path of radius r.
Magnetic force on the electron is given by the relation,
B ev
Centripetal force

From equations (1) and (2), we get

Hence, the electron has a circular trajectory of radius 1.0 mm normal to the magnetic field.
(b) When the field makes an angle θ of 30° with initial velocity, the initial velocity will be,

From equation (2), we can write the expression for new radius as:

Hence, the electron has a helical trajectory of radius 0.5 mm along the magnetic field direction.
