A

A charged particle enters a region of uniform magnetic field at an angle `85^(@)` to magnetic lines of force. The path of the particle is a circule

B

An electron and proton are moving with the same kinetic energy along the same direction. When they pass through uniform magnetic field perpendicular to their direction of motion, they describe circular path

C

There is no change in the energy of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field although magnetic force acts on it

D

Two electrons enter with the same speed but in opposite direction in a uniform transverse magnetic field. Then the two describe circle of the same radius and these move in the same direction

The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is correct, let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement**: A charged particle enters a region of uniform magnetic field at an angle of 85 degrees to the magnetic line of force. The path of the particle is circular. **Analysis**: - When a charged particle enters a magnetic field at an angle, it has two components of velocity: one parallel to the magnetic field and one perpendicular to it. - The force acting on the particle due to the magnetic field is given by the Lorentz force equation: **F = q(v × B)**. - The component of velocity that is parallel to the magnetic field does not contribute to the magnetic force (as the angle between them is 0 degrees). - The perpendicular component of the velocity will cause the particle to experience a magnetic force, resulting in circular motion in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. - Since the particle also has a parallel component of velocity, it will not just move in a circular path but will also move along the direction of the magnetic field, resulting in a helical path. **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement**: An electron and a proton are moving with the same kinetic energy along the same direction, then they pass through a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to their direction of motion and describe circular paths. **Analysis**: - The kinetic energy (KE) of a particle is given by **KE = (1/2)mv²**. For two particles with the same kinetic energy, we can express their velocities in terms of their masses. - Since the mass of the proton is much greater than that of the electron, for the same kinetic energy, the electron will have a higher velocity than the proton. - When they enter the magnetic field, both will experience a magnetic force that is perpendicular to their velocity, causing them to move in circular paths. - The radius of the circular path is given by **R = mv/(qB)**. Since the electron has a smaller mass and a higher velocity, it will have a different radius than the proton, even though they have the same kinetic energy. **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement 3 **Statement**: There is no change in internal energy of a particle moving in a magnetic field although magnetic force is acting on it. **Analysis**: - The magnetic force acting on a charged particle is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. - Since work done is defined as **W = F · d**, and the angle between the force and displacement is 90 degrees, the work done by the magnetic force is zero. - Therefore, there is no change in kinetic energy or internal energy of the particle while it moves in the magnetic field. **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement 4 **Statement**: Two electrons enter with the same speed but in opposite directions in a uniform transverse magnetic field, then they describe circles of the same radius. **Analysis**: - When two electrons enter the magnetic field in opposite directions, they will experience forces in opposite directions due to their negative charge. - The radius of the circular path is given by **R = mv/(qB)**. Since both electrons have the same mass, charge, and speed, they will indeed describe circles of the same radius. - However, they will move in opposite directions. **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion The correct statements are: - Statement 3: There is no change in internal energy of a particle moving in a magnetic field although magnetic force is acting on it. - Statement 4: Two electrons enter with the same speed but in opposite directions in a uniform transverse magnetic field, then they describe circles of the same radius.
