4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
medium
Two particles $A$ and $B$ of masses ${m_A}$ and ${m_B}$ respectively and having the same charge are moving in a plane. A uniform magnetic field exists perpendicular to this plane. The speeds of the particles are ${v_A}$ and ${v_B}$ respectively, and the trajectories are as shown in the figure. Then

A
${m_A}{v_A} < {m_B}{v_B}$
B
${m_A}{v_A} > {m_B}{v_B}$
C
${m_A} < {m_B}\,\,{\rm\,{and }}\,\,{v_A} < {v_B}$
D
${m_A} = \,{m_B}\,{\rm\,{and \,}} {v_A} = {v_B}$
(IIT-2001)
Solution
(b) $r = \frac{{mv}}{{qB}} \Rightarrow r \propto mv$ ($q$ and $B$ are constant)
$\because \;{r_A} > {r_B} \Rightarrow {m_A}{v_A} > {m_B}{v_B}$
