AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

Assertion (A)When proton and a neutron enter into a transverse magnetic field with equal speeds, then they trace a circular paths of equal radii.
Reason (R) In a transverse magnetic field the period of revolution of a charged particle in a circular path is directly proportional to the mass of the particle.

  1. A Both \((\mathrm{A})\) and \((\mathrm{R})\) are correct and \((\mathrm{R})\) is the correct explanation of \((A)\).
  2. B Both \((A)\) and \((R)\) are correct but \((R)\) is not the correct explanation of \((A)\).
  3. C (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
  4. D (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) When a proton and a neutron enter into a transverse magnetic field with equal speeds, then they trace circular paths of equal radii. This statement is not correct because neutron will not move in a circular path as there is no charge on neutron. So, (A) is not correct but…
