Two particles X and Y having equal charges are being accelerated...

Two particles XX and YY having equal charges are being accelerated through the same potential difference. Thereafter, they enter normally in a region of uniform magnetic field and describes circular paths of radii R1{R}_{1} and R2{R}_{2} respectively. The mass ratio of XX and YY is :

Options

  1. A{\left(\dfrac{{R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}}\right)}^{2}
  2. B{\left(\dfrac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}\right)}^{2}
  3. C(R1R2)\left(\dfrac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}\right)
  4. D(R2R1)\left(\dfrac{{R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}}\right)

Correct answer

B. {\left(\dfrac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}\right)}^{2}

Step-by-step solution

Energy gained due to potential difference by charged particle:

KE=qVKE = qV

Relation between momentum & kinetic energy:

p=2m(KE)p = \sqrt{2m\left(KE\right)}

Now, radius of the circular path under magnetic field will be given by, 

R=mvqB=pqB=2m(KE)qB=2mqVqBR = \dfrac{mv}{qB} = \dfrac{p}{qB} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2m ( KE )}}{qB} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2mqV}}{qB}

Therefore,

R∝m⇒m∝R2R ∝ \sqrt{m} ⇒ m ∝ {R}^{2}

⇒m1m2=(R1R2)2⇒ \dfrac{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}} = {\left(\dfrac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}\right)}^{2}
