The solution at revision #18269 of , by Luisito. This is not the current version.

Statement

10.1.2. An electron accelerated by a voltage of 200 V moves in the Earth’s magnetic field, the induction of which is 70 µT. Find the radius of the circle along which the electron moves, if its velocity is perpendicular to the Earth’s magnetic field.

Solution

Inside the magnetic field, the electron moves following a circular trajectory with constant speed.
From Newton Second Law:

but is perpendicular to , so

(1)

Applying Energy Conservation Law:

(2)

Substituting (2) into (1)
