JEE MainPhysicsMagneticsMCQ+4 / −1
An electron gun is placed inside a long solenoid of radius R on its axis. The solenoid has n turns/length and carries a current I. The electron gun shoots an electron along the radius of the solenoid with speed v. If the electron does not hit the surface of the solenoid, maximum possible value of v is (all symbols have their standard meaning) : JEE Main 2020 (Online) 9th January Evening Slot Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 149 English

Correct answer: C

  1. Magnetic field inside the long solenoid

For a long solenoid, the magnetic field inside is uniform and along its axis:

B=μ0nIB = \mu_0 n IB=μ0​nI

The electron is fired along the radius of the solenoid, while the magnetic field is along the axis. Hence the velocity is perpendicular to the field.

  1. Motion of electron in magnetic field

When a charged particle enters a magnetic field with velocity perpendicular to B⃗\vec BB, it moves in a circle of radius

r=mveBr = \frac{mv}{eB}r=eBmv​

where eee is the magnitude of charge of electron.

So here,

r=mveμ0nIr = \frac{mv}{e\mu_0 n I}r=eμ0​nImv​

  1. Condition for not hitting the inner surface of the solenoid

The electron starts from the axis of the solenoid and moves initially along the radius. Due to magnetic force, it follows a circular path in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Since it starts from the center, the circular trajectory is tangent to the initial radial direction at the center. Therefore the center of the circular path lies at a distance rrr from the axis, and the farthest distance reached from the solenoid axis is

2r2r2r

For the electron to not hit the cylindrical surface of radius RRR,

2r≤R2r \le R2r≤R

At the maximum possible speed,

2r=R2r = R2r=R

Thus,

2(mveμ0nI)=R2\left(\frac{mv}{e\mu_0 n I}\right)=R2(eμ0​nImv​)=R

v=eμ0nIR2mv = \frac{e\mu_0 n I R}{2m}v=2meμ0​nIR​

  1. Matching with the options

This corresponds to:

eμ0nIR2m\boxed{\frac{e\mu_0 n I R}{2m}}2meμ0​nIR​​

So the correct option is C.
