4.266 m is the radius of the circular path the electron follows.
Given
Speed of electron (v) = 7.5 × 10⁶ m/s
Earth's Magnetic Field (B) = 1 × 10⁻⁵ T
We already know that
Mass of electron (m) = 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg
Charge on electron (q) = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
According to the formula
Radius of circular path(r) = mass on electron × speed/ Charge × Magnetic field
Radius of circular path(r) = m × v/q × B
Put the values into the formula
r = 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ × 7.5 × 10⁶/ 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ × 10⁻⁵
On solving, we get
r = 4.266 m
Hence, 4.266 m is the radius of the circular path the electron follows.
