A proton, an electron, and a Helium nucleus, have the same energy. They are in circular orbits in a plane due to magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. Let r p , r e and r H e be their respective radii, then,
Options
- Ar e > r p = r H e
- Br e < r p = r H e
- Cr e < r p < r H e
- Dr e > r p > r H e
Correct answer
B. r e < r p = r H e
Step-by-step solution
We know, r = m v q B ∵  K.E.= 1 2 m v 2   = 2 m K . E . q B ∴ K.E. is same for all particle and magnetic field B is also some. r ∝ m q For proton: r p ∝ m p e For electron: r e ∝ m e e For Helium nuclei: r H e ∝ 4 m p 2 e = m p e
