A charged particle of charge $\mathrm{q}$ and mass $\mathrm{m}$, gets deflected through an angle $\theta$ upon passing through a square region of side 'a' which contains a uniform magnetic field B normal to its plane. Assuming that the particle entered the square at right angles to one side, what is the speed of the particle?

Options:
  • A $\frac{\mathrm{qB}}{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{acot} \theta$
  • B $\frac{\mathrm{qB}}{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{a} \tan \theta$
  • C $\frac{\mathrm{qB}}{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{a} \cot ^{2} \theta$
  • D $\frac{\mathrm{qB}}{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{a} \tan ^{2} \theta$

The correct answer is: $\frac{\mathrm{qB}}{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{acot} \theta$


Now $\sin \theta=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{R}}, \mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}}{\mathrm{qB}}$
$$
\therefore \mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{q} \mathrm{Bacot} \theta}{\mathrm{m}}
$$
