Q : 11.21 (a) A monoenergetic electron beam with electron speed of is subject to a magnetic field of
normal to the beam velocity. What is the radius of the circle traced by the beam, given
for electron equals
.
The force due to the magnetic field on the electron will be Fb=evB (since the angle between the velocity and magnetic field is 90o)
This Fb acts as the centripetal force required for circular motion. Therefore
