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
