Correct answer: A
- Find the speed of the electron after acceleration
When an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference , the gained kinetic energy is:
Given:
So,
- Use magnetic force as centripetal force
When the electron enters a magnetic field perpendicular to its velocity, it moves in a circular path of radius :
So,
Given:
Substitute:
- Match with the options
So the correct option is:
A:
