Electrons in One Shot | Class 12 Physics NEB | Nepali ScienceGuru

Nepali ScienceGuru - Aashish Panta2 minutes read

An electron has more components than a proton in an electric field due to its smaller mass, and a charged particle fired into a magnetic field follows a circular trajectory unless the region's length is greater than the circle's radius. It cannot be assumed that an external electric field is zero if a charged particle moves through a region with constant velocity and zero external magnetic field, and the acceleration of a moving charge in parallel and perpendicular magnetic fields must be calculated.

Insights

  • Electrons, due to their smaller mass compared to protons, exhibit more components when entering an electric field with the same initial kinetic energy.
  • A charged particle fired into a magnetic field will trace a circular path unless the region's length exceeds the radius of the circle formed, impacting the particle's trajectory.

Charged Particle Behavior in Electric and Magnetic Fields

  • When a proton and an electron with the same initial kinetic energy enter an electric field normally, the electron will have more components due to its smaller mass.
  • If a charged particle is fired normally into a magnetic field, it will follow a circular trajectory unless the length of the region it enters is greater than the radius of the circle it forms.
  • If a charged particle moves through a region with constant velocity and zero external magnetic field, it cannot be concluded that the external electric field in the region is also zero.
  • The expression for the acceleration of a moving charge q in parallel and perpendicular magnetic fields should be written down.
