An electron of mass "m" and charge "e" is moving in a circle of radius "r" with speed "v" in a uniform magnetic field strength "B".Then:
Correct answer: A. rœm
- A. rœm
- B. rœB
- C. rœI/v
- D. rœI/m
Explanation
The magnetic force provides the necessary centripetal force "F," to the electrons, each having mass "m". So, the electrons move in circular path of radius "r".

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
