Two particles x and y having equal charge, after being accelerated through the same potential difference, enter a region of a uniform magnetic field. They describe circular paths of radii \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \), respectively. The ratio of the mass of x to that of y is:

  1. A \( \sqrt{\frac{R_1}{R_2}} \)
  2. B \( \frac{R_1}{R_2} \)
  3. C \( \left( \frac{R_1}{R_2} \right)^2 \)
  4. D \( R_1 R_2 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( \left( \frac{R_1}{R_2} \right)^2 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( KE = qV \) \( R = \frac{mv}{qB} \) \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \Rightarrow v = \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}} \) \( R = \frac{m}{qB} \sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}} = \frac{1}{qB} \sqrt{2mqV} \) \( R^2 = \frac{2mqV}{q^2B^2} = \frac{2mV}{qB^2} \) \( m = \frac{R^2 q B^2}{2V} \)…
