Question
An electron, a proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular orbits of radii re, rp,  respectively in a uniform magnetic field B. The relation between re, rp,  is:-
Options
A.
re < rp =Â
B.
re < rp <Â
C.
re <Â < rp
D.
re > rp =Â
Solution
Radius of circular path in magnetic field is given
by R =Â
where K = kinetic energy of particle
m = mass of particle
q = charge on particle
B = magnetic field intensity
R = radius of path
For electron
  ...(i)
For proton
  ...(ii)
For particle
 ...(iii)
as me < mp so re < rp = r
