A proton, a deuteron and an α -particle with same kinetic energy enter into a uniform magnetic field at right angle to magnetic field. The ratio of the radii of their respective circular paths is :
Options
- A1   :   2   :   2
- B1 : 2 : 1
- C2   : 1   : 1
- DNone of these
Correct answer
B. 1 : 2 : 1
Step-by-step solution
Radius of circular path in magnetic field is given by R = m v q B = m 2 KE q B m ∝ m q R P : R D : R α = 1 1 : 2 1 : 4 2 = 1 : 2 : 1
