A star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Let r be the distance of the body frm the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be v, angular velocity omega , kinetic energy K, gravitational potential energy U, total energy E and angular momentum p. As the radius r of the orbit increases, determine which of the above quantities increase and which one decrease.

Force on a charge in electric and magnetic fields A charge particle follows a parabolic path in a uniform electric field and a charged particel moving in a uniform magnetic field has two kinds of motions lnear motion in the direction of magnetic field and circular motion in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. when charge q is moving perpendicular to the magnetic field B, the radius of the circular path is r=(mv)/(Bq) . If v and B makes an angle theta , then r=(mvsintheta)/(Bq) , and the time period T=(2pim)/(Bq) . Under the influenece of a uniform magnetic field, a charged particles is moving in a circle of radius r with speed v. The time period of motion.
