Question

metal ball of 10 kg with 5 C charge moves perpendicular to magnetic field of 5 T. Radius of path is 80 m. Speed and period?
Options
A 200 m/s, 6.0 s
B 80 m/s, 2.5 s
C 120 m/s, 6.0 s
D 200 m/s, 2.5 s
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

r = mv/(qB) → v = (rqB)/m = (80×5×5)/10 = 2000/10 = 200 m/s. T = 2πr/v = 2π×80/200 = (160π)/200 = 0.8π ≈ 2.51 s ≈ 2.5 s.

Hint

v = rqB/m, T = 2πr/v.
