An electron and a proton with equal momentum enter perpendicularly into a uniform magnetic field, thenA. path of both will be straight lineB. both are equally curvedC. the path of proton shall be less curved than that of electronD. the path of proton shall be less curved than that of electron |

Answer» Correct Answer - B The radius of circular path traced by electron and proton is given by `r=(mv)/(qB)=(p)/(qB)=sqrt(2mKE)/(qB)` `therefore r prop v prop p prop sqrt(k)` As both proton and electron have same momentum hence both will have the same circular path i.e both are equally curved |
