AIIMS2010PhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
Assertion : If a proton and an a-particle enter a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly with the same speed, the time period of revolution of aparticle is double that of proton. Reason : In a magnetic field, the period of revolution of a charged particle is directly proportional to the mass of the particle and is inversely proportional to charge of particle.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
The period of a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by T= 2 m q B , i.e., T m q We know that, m_p=m, m_ =4 m, q_p=e, q_ =2 e T_p T_ = 1 2 or T_ =2 T_p
