A proton and an $\alpha$-particle having equal kinetic energy are projected in a uniform transverse electric field as shown in figure

A

Proton trajectory is more curved

B

$\alpha$-particle trajectory is more curved

C

Both trajectories are equally curved but in opposite direction

D

Both trajectories are equally curved and in same direction

Solution

(b)

$\alpha$-particle has more charge than proton

$\therefore$ Strong electric force on $\alpha$-particle and more curved path.
