4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
medium

Two particles $x$ and $y$ have equal charges and possessing equal kinetic energy enter in a uniform magnetic field and describe circular path of radius of curvature $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively. The ratio of their masses is

A

$\left( {\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}} \right)$

B

${\left( {\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}} \right)^{1/2}}$

C

${\left( {\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}} \right)^2}$

D

${\left( {\frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}}} \right)}$

Solution

$\mathrm{r}=\frac{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mE}_{\mathrm{k}}}}{\mathrm{qB}}$

$\mathrm{r} \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{m}} \quad\left(\mathrm{q}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{k}} \rightarrow \text { same }\right)$

or $m$ $ \propto $ $r^{2}$

$\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}=\left(\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}\right)^{2}$
