  • A
    The $\alpha$-particle will be bent in a circular path with a smaller radius than that of the proton.
  • B
    The radius of the path of the $\alpha$-particle will be greater than that of the proton.
  • C
    The $\alpha$-particle and the proton will be bent in a circular path with the same radius.
