If a proton, deutron and $\alpha - $ particle on being accelerated by the same potential difference enters perpendicular to the magnetic field, then the ratio of their kinetic energies is

A

$1:2:2$

B

$2:2:1$

C

$1:2:1$

D

$1:1:2$

Solution

(d) Kinetic energy in magnetic field remains constant and it is $K = q\,V\;\; \Rightarrow \;K \propto q\;$($V$ = constant)
$\therefore \;{K_p}\;:\;{K_d}\;:\;{K_\alpha }\; = {q_p}\;:\;{q_d}\;:\;{q_a} = 1:1:2$
