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

An electron, a proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular orbits of radii \(r_e,r_p\) and \({r_\alpha }\) respectively in a uniform magnetic field \(B\). The relation between \(r_e,r_p\) and \(\;{r_\alpha }\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(r_e < r_p\) \(=\) \(\;{r_\alpha }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know, radius of circular path in magnetic field \(\mathrm{r}=\frac{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{Km}}}{\mathrm{qB}}\) For electron, \(\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{Km}_{\mathrm{e}}}}{\mathrm{eB}}.........(i)\) For proton,…
