SECTION (C) CASE STUDY PROBLEMS (4)

Instructions: Read the following passage carefully & attempt questions asked from it.
In case of motion of a charge in a magnetic field, let us first,
consider the case of ‘v’ perpendicular to ‘B’. The perpendicular force acts as a
centripetal force and produces a circular motion perpendicular to the
magnetic field. So no work is done and no change in the magnitude of the
velocity is produced.
The radius of the circular path and other
periodic attributes like time period, frequency and angular frequency is same
as for the case of circular motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field. If
there is a component of the velocity to the magnetic field, it will make the path
of the particle would be a helical one. The distance moved by a charged
particle in the magnetic field in one rotation is called pitch of a particle.
