JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

A proton, a deuteron and an \(\alpha-\)particle with same kinetic energy enter into a uniform magnetic field at right angle to magnetic field. The ratio of the radii of their respective circular paths is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1: \sqrt{2}: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R =\frac{\sqrt{2 \,km }}{ qB } \propto \frac{\sqrt{ m }}{ q }\) \(\frac{\sqrt{ m }}{ e }: \frac{\sqrt{2 \,m }}{ e }: \frac{\sqrt{4\, m }}{2 e }\) \(1: \sqrt{2}: 1\)
