Question
Suppose that you have an electron moving with speed comparable to the speed of light in a circular orbit of radius r in a large region of uniform magnetic field B. Now the uniform magnetic field begins to increase with time: where and b are positive constants. In one orbit, how much does the energy of the electron increase, assuming that in one orbit the radius doesn't change very much?

Step 1
1 of 3To get the energy of the electron, we can use the relation
where is the relativistic momentum and is the speed of light. We established that , and it is stated in the problem that , hence
