AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

A proton and an alpha particle moving with energies in the ratio \(1: 4\) enter a uniform magnetic field of \(3 T\) at right angles to the direction of magnetic field. The ratio of the magnetic forces acting on the proton and the alpha particle is

  1. A \(1: 2\)
  2. B \(1: 4\)
  3. C \(2: 3\)
  4. D \(1: 3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1: 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow \frac{\frac{1}{2} m_1 v_1^2}{\frac{1}{2} m_2 v_2^2}=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)\left(\frac{v_1}{v_2}\right)^2=\frac{1}{4}\) \(\therefore \quad \mathrm{v}_1=\mathrm{v}_2\) \(\therefore \quad\) Ratio of force,…
