Question
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 α-particle to describe a circle of same radius in the samefield?
Options
A.4 MeV
B.2 MeV
C.1 MeV
D.0.5 MeV
Solution

For equal readius of proton and α-particle



Eα = Ep                  Eα = 1MeV
