The correct Answer is:
To find the frequency of revolution of the electron moving in a circular path under the influence of a transverse magnetic field, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between magnetic force and centripetal force When a charged particle, such as an electron, moves in a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force that acts as the centripetal force required for circular motion. The magnetic force \( F_B \) is given by: \[ F_B = QVB \] where: - \( Q \) is the charge of the electron, - \( V \) is the velocity of the electron, - \( B \) is the magnetic field strength. The centripetal force \( F_C \) required to keep the electron in circular motion is given by: \[ F_C = \frac{MV^2}{R} \] where: - \( M \) is the mass of the electron, - \( R \) is the radius of the circular path. ### Step 2: Set the magnetic force equal to the centripetal force Since the magnetic force provides the centripetal force, we can set them equal to each other: \[ QVB = \frac{MV^2}{R} \] ### Step 3: Solve for the radius \( R \) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ R = \frac{MV}{QB} \] ### Step 4: Determine the time period \( T \) The time period \( T \) of one complete revolution is given by: \[ T = \frac{2\pi R}{V} \] Substituting the expression for \( R \): \[ T = \frac{2\pi \left(\frac{MV}{QB}\right)}{V} = \frac{2\pi M}{QB} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the frequency \( f \) The frequency \( f \) is the reciprocal of the time period: \[ f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{QB}{2\pi M} \] ### Step 6: Substitute known values We know: - The charge of the electron \( Q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C \), - The magnetic field \( B = 3.57 \times 10^{-2} \, T \), - The value of \( \frac{e}{m} = 1.76 \times 10^{11} \, \frac{C}{kg} \). Using \( f = \frac{e}{m} \cdot \frac{B}{2\pi} \): \[ f = \left(1.76 \times 10^{11} \, \frac{C}{kg}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{3.57 \times 10^{-2} \, T}{2\pi}\right) \] ### Step 7: Calculate the frequency Calculating the numerical values: \[ f = 1.76 \times 10^{11} \cdot \frac{3.57 \times 10^{-2}}{2 \cdot 3.14} \] \[ f \approx 1.76 \times 10^{11} \cdot \frac{3.57 \times 10^{-2}}{6.28} \approx 1.76 \times 10^{11} \cdot 5.68 \times 10^{-3} \approx 10^{9} \, Hz \] ### Final Answer The frequency of revolution of the electron is approximately \( 1 \, GHz \). ---
