<span>(50 meters) / (3 seconds) = (50/3) (meters/sec) = (16 and 2/3) meters/sec .
Speed is correct.
It's NOT velocity.
They're different things.</span>
The speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.
The angular momentum(L) of an electron moving in a circular path is given by the formula,
L = mvr ........(i)
We know that the radius of the path of an electron in a magnetic field is
r = mv/qB
Putting this value in equation (i),
L = mv x mv/qB
or L = (mv)^2/qB
Putting the given values in the above equation,
4 x 10^-25 = (9.1x10^-31)^2 x v^2/ 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1 x 10^-3
v comes out to be 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.
Hence, the speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.
