1sir if we assume the electron entering the field 2B at angle @ then when it cums out it will be deviated by an angle 2pi-2@.....wont it???
What is the path of an electron if the magnetic filed is shown as in the image.
The field is outward and has values B and 2B on either sides of the line.
The region is infinite on both sides....
Trace the shape of the path of the electron....

62but there is a field on both sides..
i am not looking at just that much :P
1When it enters from B to 2B, the electron will trace a circle of a radius R/2 (R is the radius of the circle traced by the electron when in magnetic field B). As it leaves the magnetic field 2B it again trace the circle of radius R.
Am I totally wrong?? :D
62no you are not at all wrong.
but draw the path it is nice (atleast it looks nice to me :P)
1Bigger radius in 2B field and smaller radius in B field...
Looks like a side-section view of an eye!
1Excuse me for that edged part while re-entering the field...it wouldn't be bulging. :)
