4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy
A proton and an electron both moving with the same velocity $v$ enter into a region of magnetic field directed perpendicular to the velocity of the particles. They will now move in circular orbits such that
A
Their time periods will be same
B
The time period for proton will be higher
C
The time period for electron will be higher
D
Their orbital radii will be same
Solution
(b) We know that time period $T = \frac{{2\pi m}}{{qB}}\,\,\,i.e.\;T \propto m$
(Since $q$ and $B$ are same)
Mass of proton $>$ Mass of electron
$\therefore $ Time period of proton $>$ Time period of electron
