Assertion : A proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular paths in a uniform magnetic field. The radii of their circular paths will be equal.

Reason : Any two charged particles having equal kinetic energies and entering a region of uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow B $ in a direction perpendicular to $\overrightarrow B $, will describe circular trajectories of equal radii.

Consider a thin metallic sheet perpendicular to the plane of the paper moving with speed $'v'$ in a uniform magnetic field $B$ going into the plane of the paper (See figure). If charge densities ${\sigma _1}$ and ${\sigma _2}$ are induced on the left and right surfaces, respectively, of the sheet then (ignore fringe effects)

A uniform magnetic field $B$ exists in the region between $x=0$ and $x=\frac{3 R}{2}$ (region $2$ in the figure) pointing normally into the plane of the paper. A particle with charge $+Q$ and momentum $p$ directed along $x$-axis enters region $2$ from region $1$ at point $P_1(y=-R)$. Which of the following option(s) is/are correct?

$[A$ For $B>\frac{2}{3} \frac{p}{QR}$, the particle will re-enter region $1$

$[B]$ For $B=\frac{8}{13} \frac{\mathrm{p}}{QR}$, the particle will enter region $3$ through the point $P_2$ on $\mathrm{x}$-axis

$[C]$ When the particle re-enters region 1 through the longest possible path in region $2$ , the magnitude of the change in its linear momentum between point $P_1$ and the farthest point from $y$-axis is $p / \sqrt{2}$

$[D]$ For a fixed $B$, particles of same charge $Q$ and same velocity $v$, the distance between the point $P_1$ and the point of re-entry into region $1$ is inversely proportional to the mass of the particle
