A proton carrying 1 MeV kinetic energy is moving in a circular path of radius R in uniform magnetic field. What should be the energy of an -particle to describe a circle of same radius in the same field?
Options
- A2 MeV
- B1 MeV
- C0.5 MeV
- D4 MeV
Correct answer
B. 1 MeV
Step-by-step solution
For proton r= 2 m( KE ) q B So q m( KE ) Hence aligned e 2 e & = (m_p )(1 MeV ) (4 m_p )( KE ) 1 4 & = 1 MeV 4 KE KE & =1 MeV aligned
