JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 12th April Evening Slot - No. 4)

An electron, moving along the x-axis with an initial energy of 100 eV, enters a region of magnetic field $$\overrightarrow B = \left( {1.5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}T} \right)\widehat k$$ at S (See figure). The field extends between x = 0 and x = 2 cm. The electron is detected at the point Q on a screen placed 8 cm away from the point S. The distance d between P and Q (on the screen) is : (electron’s charge = 1.6 × 10–19 C, mass of electron = 9.1 × 10–31 kg)
2.25 cm
12.87 cm
1.22 cm
11.65 cm

Explanation

We know, R = $${{mv} \over {qB}}$$

= $${{\sqrt {2mK} } \over {qB}}$$

= $${{\sqrt {2 \times 9.1 \times {{10}^{ - 31}} \times 100 \times 1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}} } \over {1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}} \times 1.5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}$$

= $${\sqrt 5 }$$ cm
From diagram,

$$\sin \theta = {2 \over R}$$ = $${2 \over {\sqrt 5 }}$$

So $$\tan \theta = {2 \over 1}$$

In $$\Delta $$MNQ,

$$\tan \theta = {x \over 6}$$

$$ \therefore $$ $${x \over 6}$$ = $${2 \over 1}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$x$$ = 12 cm

From diagram you can see,

QP = d > 12

By checking all the options you can see possible value of d = 12.87 cm
