Solution
Given:
Mass of the particle = m
Charge of the particle = q
Magnetic field = B
As per the question, the particle is projected into a perpendicular magnetic field.
(a) When the width, d = `(mv)/(qB)`
d is equal to the radius and θ is the angle between the radius and tangent, which is equal to `pi/2`.
(b) When the width, d = `(mv)/(2qB)`
Width of the region in which a magnetic field is applied is half of the radius of the circular path described by the particle.
As the magnetic force is acting only along the y direction, the velocity of the particle will remain constant along the x direction. So, if d is the distance travelled along the x axis, then
d = vxt
`t = (d)/(V_x)`.........(i))
(i)
(ii)
The acceleration along the x direction is zero. The force will act only along the y direction.
Using the equation of motion for motion along the y axis:
vy = uy + ayt
`vy = 0 + (qu_xBt)/(m)`
`= (qu_xBt)/m`
Putting the value of t from equation (i), we get:
`(qu_xBd)/(mv_x)`
we know
`tantheta = (vy)/(vx)`
`(qBd)/(mv_x) = (qBmv_x)/(2qBmvx) = 1/2`
`⇒theta = tan^-1(1/2)`
`= 26.4 = 30^circ = pi/6`
(c) When the width, d = (c) When the width, d = `(2mv)/(qB)`
