easy

If an electron and a proton having same momenta enter perpendicular to a magnetic field, then

A

The path of proton shall be more curved than that of electron

B

The path of proton shall be less curved than that of electron

C

Both are equally curved

D

Path of both will be straight line

(AIEEE-2002)
