If an electron and a proton having same momenta enter perpendicular to a magnetic field, then

  • Option 1)

    curved path of electron and proton will be same ( ignoring the sense of revolution)

  • Option 2)

    they will move undeflected

  • Option 3)

    curved path of electron is more curved than that of the proton

  • Option 4)

    path of proton is more curved.

As we discussed in concept

Radius of charged particle -

r=\frac{mv}{qB}=\frac{P}{qB}=\frac{\sqrt{}2mk}{qB}=\frac{1}{B}\sqrt{}\frac{2mV}{q}

-

 

 

Bqv=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}\Rightarrow r=\frac{mv}{Bq}=\frac{p}{Bq}

r will be same for electron and proton as p , B and q are of same magnitude.


Option 1)

curved path of electron and proton will be same ( ignoring the sense of revolution)

Correct option

Option 2)

they will move undeflected

Incorrect option

Option 3)

curved path of electron is more curved than that of the proton
