An electron and a proton are moving on straight parallel paths with same velocity. They enter a semi-infinite region of uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the velocity. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true?An electron and a proton are moving on straight parallel paths with same velocity. They enter a semi-infinite region ofAn electron and a proton are moving on straight parallel paths with same velocity. They enter a semi-infinite region of

Options

  1. AThey will never come out of the magnetic field region
  2. BThey will come out travelling along parallel paths
  3. CThey will come out at the same time
  4. DThey will come out at different times

Correct answer

B. They will come out travelling along parallel paths

Step-by-step solution

r=mvBq\quad r=\frac{m v}{B q} or r∝m∴re<rp\quad r \propto m\therefore r_e \lt r_p as me<mpm_e \lt m_p Further, T=2πmBq\quad T=\frac{2 \pi m}{B q} or T∝m\quad T \propto mAn electron and a proton are moving on straight parallel paths with same velocity. They enter a semi-infinite region of
∴\quadTe<Tpte=Te2\begin{aligned} \therefore \quadT_e & < T_p \\ t_e & =\frac{T_e}{2} \end{aligned}and or te<tp∴\quad t_e \lt t_p\therefore Correct options are (b) and (d). Note In JEE 2011, official answer key, correct options were given bc, bd, bcd, here student should realise that both the electron and proton enter the magnetic field at the same time or at different times. Analysis of Question (i) Question is simple. (ii) In the situation given above particle will never complete the circle unless magnetic field is all around.
