An electron,a proton,and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular orbits of radii $r_e, r_p$,and $r_{\alpha}$ respectively in a uniform magnetic field $B$. The relation between $r_e, r_p$,and $r_{\alpha}$ is:

  • A
    $r_e < r_p = r_{\alpha}$
  • B
    $r_e < r_p < r_{\alpha}$
  • C
    $r_e < r_{\alpha} < r_p$
  • D
    $r_e > r_p = r_{\alpha}$

Two ions of masses $4 \, amu$ and $16 \, amu$ have charges $+2e$ and $+3e$ respectively. These ions pass through a region of constant perpendicular magnetic field. The kinetic energy of both ions is the same. Then:

$A$ proton is moving undeflected in a region of crossed electric and magnetic fields at a constant speed of $2 \times 10^5 \text{ ms}^{-1}$. When the electric field is switched off,the proton moves along a circular path of radius $2 \text{ cm}$. The magnitude of the electric field is $x \times 10^4 \text{ N/C}$.
