Which of the following will experience a maximum force, when projected with the same velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field : (i) α-particle, and (ii) β-particle?(a) Both α-particle and β-particle(b) None(c) β-particle(d) α-particleThe question was posed to me in an interview.The query is from Motion in a Magnetic Field topic in chapter Moving Charges and Magnetism of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (d) α-particle

The best explanation: F = qvB.

For α-particle, Q = 2e, Fα = 2evB

For β-particle, q = e, Fβ = evB.

Thus, the α-particle will EXPERIENCE maximum FORCE.
