WBJEE · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

Two particles, \(A\) and \(B\), having equal charges, after being accelerated through the same potential difference enter into a region of uniform magnetic field and the particles describe circular paths of radii \(R_{1}\) and \(R_{2}\) resporctively. The ratio of the masses of \(A\) and \(B\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(R_{1} / R_{2}\right)^{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Radius of circular path followed by charged particle is given by \[ R=\frac{m v}{q B}=\frac{\sqrt{2 m K}}{q B} \quad[\because p=m v=\sqrt{2 m K}] \] where, \(K\) is kinetic energy of particle. Charged particle \(q\) is accelerated through some potential difference \(V\), such…
