The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the kinetic energy of the electron, the magnetic induction (magnetic field), and the radius of the circular orbit. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Initial Conditions**: - Let the initial kinetic energy of the electron be \( K \). - Let the initial radius of the circular orbit be \( R \). - Let the initial magnetic induction (magnetic field) be \( B \). 2. **Centripetal Force**: The centripetal force required to keep the electron moving in a circular path is provided by the magnetic force. The magnetic force acting on the electron is given by: \[ F = qvB \] where \( q \) is the charge of the electron, \( v \) is its velocity, and \( B \) is the magnetic field. 3. **Centripetal Acceleration**: The centripetal force can also be expressed in terms of the mass \( m \) of the electron and its velocity \( v \): \[ F = \frac{mv^2}{R} \] 4. **Equating Forces**: Setting the magnetic force equal to the centripetal force, we have: \[ qvB = \frac{mv^2}{R} \] 5. **Solving for Radius**: Rearranging the equation gives us the expression for the radius \( R \): \[ R = \frac{mv}{qB} \] 6. **Relating Velocity to Kinetic Energy**: The kinetic energy \( K \) of the electron is given by: \[ K = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] From this, we can express \( mv \) in terms of \( K \): \[ mv = \sqrt{2mK} \] 7. **Substituting into Radius Formula**: Substituting \( mv \) into the radius formula gives: \[ R = \frac{\sqrt{2mK}}{qB} \] 8. **Final Conditions**: Now, according to the problem: - The kinetic energy is doubled: \( K' = 2K \). - The magnetic induction is tripled: \( B' = 3B \). 9. **New Radius Calculation**: Substituting the new kinetic energy and magnetic induction into the radius formula: \[ R' = \frac{\sqrt{2m(2K)}}{q(3B)} = \frac{\sqrt{4mK}}{3qB} = \frac{2\sqrt{mK}}{3qB} \] 10. **Expressing in Terms of Initial Radius**: We can relate this to the initial radius \( R \): \[ R' = \frac{2}{3} R \] ### Final Answer: The new radius \( R' \) will be: \[ R' = \frac{2}{3} R \]
