AIPMT PRELIMS 2010 Physics Cathode Rays MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12
A beam of cathode rays is subjected to crossed Electric (E) and Magnetic field (B). The fields are adjusted such that the beam is not deflected. The specific charge of the cathode rays is given by (where V is the potential difference between cathode and anode)
A
E² / 2VB²
B
B² / 2VE²
C
2VB² / E²
D
2VE² / B²
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The specific charge q/m is derived from qV = 1/2 mv² and v = E/B, leading to q/m = E² / 2VB².
