KCET2012PhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
An -particle and a proton moving with the same kinetic energy enter a region of uniform magnetic field at right angles to the field. The ratio of the radii of the paths of -particle to that of the proton is
Options
- A1: 8
- B1: 1
- C1: 2
- D1: 4
Correct answer
B. 1: 1
Step-by-step solution
Radius of circular path of charged particle in uniform magnetic field aligned r &= P qB = 2 mK qB r : r ₂ &= m ₁ q ₁ : m ₂ q ₂ &= 4 2 : 1 1 =1: 1 aligned
