Assertion (A)When proton and a neutron enter into a transverse magnetic field with equal speeds, then they trace a circular paths of equal radii. Reason (R) In a transverse magnetic field the period of revolution of a charged particle in a circular path is directly proportional to the mass of the particle.
Options
- ABoth (( A ) ) and (( R ) ) are correct and (( R ) ) is the correct explanation of ((A) ).
- BBoth ((A) ) and ((R) ) are correct but ((R) ) is not the correct explanation of ((A) ).
- C(A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
- D(A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
Correct answer
D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
Step-by-step solution
(A) When a proton and a neutron enter into a transverse magnetic field with equal speeds, then they trace circular paths of equal radii. This statement is not correct because neutron will not move in a circular path as there is no charge on neutron. So, (A) is not correct but (R) is correct. Hence, option (4) is correct.
