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
