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

A proton, an electron, and a Helium nucleus, have the same energy. They are in circular orbitals in a plane due to magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. Let \(r_p, r_e\) and \(r_{He}\) be their respective radii, then

  1. A \(r_e > r_p = r_{He}\)
  2. B \(r_e > r_p > r_{He}\)
  3. C \(r_e < r_p < r_{He}\)
  4. D \(r_e < r_p = r_{He}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(r_e < r_p = r_{He}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(r=\frac{m v}{q B}=\frac{\sqrt{2 m K}}{q B}\) \(r_{\mathrm{He}}=r_{p}>r_{e}\)
