A 1.10 KeV kinetic energy positron penetrates a region where there is a uniform magnetic field of 0.16 T at an angle of 85.99 degrees. Determine the radius of the helical path?
Let v is the velocity and m is the mass of the positron
Component of the velocity due to which positron moves in circular part of the helix = vsin85.99°
Magnetic field B = 0.16 T
Charge on the positron q = 1.6 × 10-19 C
Mass of the positron m = 9.1 × 10-31 kg
Kinetic energy of the positron E = 1.1 keV = 1.1 × 1.6 × 10-16 J
