Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 347
Question: An electron and a proton have equal kinetic energies. They enter in a magnetic field perpendicularly, Then [UPSEAT 2003]
Options:
A) Both will follow a circular path with same radius
B) Both will follow a helical path
C) Both will follow a parabolic path
D) All the statements are false
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Particles entering perpendicularly, hence they will describe circular path. Since their masses are different so they will describe path of different radii.
