An electron is orbiting in a circular orbit under the influence of a constant transverse magnetic field of strength $B$. Assuming that Bohr's postulate regarding the quantisation of angular momentum holds good for this electron,find the kinetic energy of the electron in the $n^{th}$ orbit. ($m_e =$ mass of electron,$e =$ magnitude of charge of electron)

  • A
    $K.E = \frac{nhBe}{2\pi m_e}$
  • B
    $K.E = \frac{nhBe}{12\pi m_e}$
  • C
    $K.E = \frac{nhBe}{8\pi m_e}$
  • D
    $K.E = \frac{nhBe}{4\pi m_e}$
