4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
medium
An $\alpha $ particle and a proton travel with same velocity in a magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of their velocities, find the ratio of the radii of their circular path
A
$4:1$
B
$1:4$
C
$2:1$
D
$1:2$
(AIIMS-2004)
Solution
(c) $r = \frac{{mv}}{{qB}} \Rightarrow \frac{{{r_\alpha }}}{{{r_p}}} = \frac{{{m_\alpha }}}{{{m_p}}} \times \frac{{{q_p}}}{{{q_\alpha }}} = \frac{4}{1} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{1}$
