The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the force experienced by an electron in a magnetic field and the potential difference through which it is accelerated. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Force on the Electron**: The force \( F \) experienced by a charged particle (like an electron) moving in a magnetic field is given by the equation: \[ F = q \cdot v \cdot B \cdot \sin(\theta) \] where: - \( q \) is the charge of the electron, - \( v \) is the velocity of the electron, - \( B \) is the magnetic field strength, - \( \theta \) is the angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector. 2. **Relating Potential Difference to Kinetic Energy**: When an electron is accelerated through a potential difference \( V \), it gains kinetic energy equal to the work done on it by the electric field: \[ KE = qV \] This kinetic energy can also be expressed in terms of velocity: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] Setting these two expressions for kinetic energy equal gives: \[ qV = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] 3. **Solving for Velocity**: Rearranging the equation for velocity \( v \): \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}} \] 4. **Substituting Velocity into the Force Equation**: Now, substituting \( v \) back into the force equation: \[ F = q \cdot \left(\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}\right) \cdot B \cdot \sin(\theta) \] This simplifies to: \[ F = k \cdot \sqrt{V} \] where \( k \) is a constant that includes \( q \), \( B \), \( \sin(\theta) \), and other constants. 5. **Considering the New Potential Difference**: If the potential difference is increased to \( 2V \), we can find the new force \( F' \): \[ F' = k \cdot \sqrt{2V} \] 6. **Relating the New Force to the Original Force**: We can express \( F' \) in terms of \( F \): \[ F' = k \cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{V} = \sqrt{2} \cdot F \] 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the force experienced by the electron when the potential difference is increased to \( 2V \) is: \[ F' = F \sqrt{2} \] ### Final Answer: The force experienced by the electron in the same magnetic field when the potential difference is increased to \( 2V \) is \( F \sqrt{2} \).
