A narrow beam of protons and deuterons, each having the same momentum, enters a region of uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to their direction of momentum. The ratio of the radii of the circular paths described by them is
Options
- A1: 2
- B1: 1
- C2: 1
- D1: 3
Correct answer
B. 1: 1
Step-by-step solution
Since, the radius of circular path of a charged particle in magnetic field is Now, the radius of circular path of charged particle of given momentum and magnetic field is given by But charge on both charged particles, protons and deuterons, is same. Therefore,
