Two electrons, e1 and e2 of mass m and charge q are injected into the perpendicular direction of the magnetic field B such that the kinetic energy of e1 is double than that of e2. The relation of their frequencies of rotation, f1 and f2 is
  1. f1=f2
  2. f1=2f2
  3. 2f1=f2
  4. 4f1=f2

Solution

As elocity of particles are perpendicular to the magnetic field, thus the particles moves in a circle.

The centripetal force is experienced by electron is qvB.

So, mv2r=qvB

 mvr=qBmω=qBω=qBm

Frequency is given by f=qB2πm.

As frequency is independent of kinetic energy, so f1=f2.
