A particle is projected in a plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. The area bounded by the path described by the particle is proportional to
A. the velocity
B. the momentum
C. the kinetic energy
D. none of these
Answer :
If a charged particle is projected with velocity v on a plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B, then the particle will travel in a circle. Whose radius is where m and q are the mass and the charge of the particle respectively.
So the area enclosed by the path will be A = ϖR2 = =
=
kinetic energy
Thus, the area will be proportional to the kinetic energy of the particle.

An electron is moving along the positive x-axis. You want to apply a magnetic field for a short time so that the electron may reverse its direction and move parallel to the negative x-axis. This can be done by applying the magnetic field along.
