A particle having a charge $100 \mathrm{e}$ is revolving in a circular path of radius $0.8 \mathrm{~m}$ with 1.r.p.s The magnetic field produced at the center of the circle in SI unit is ( $\mu_0$ permeability of vacuum, $\left.\mathrm{e}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\right)$
  1. $10^{-17} \mu_0$
  2. $10^{-3} \mu_0$
  3. $10^{-7} \mu_0$
  4. $10^{-11} \mu_0$

Solution

The magnetic field produced by a circular coil of radius $r$ at its centre is given by $\mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{r}}$ In this case $r=0.8 \mathrm{~m}$ Frequency $\mathrm{f}=1$ r.p.s. $\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{qf}=100 \mathrm{e} \mathrm{A} \\ & \therefore \mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_0 \times 100 \mathrm{e}}{2 \times 0.8}=\frac{\mu_0 \times 100 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6} \\ & =10^{-17} \mu_0 \end{aligned}$
