Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: If oxygen ion $(O^{-2})$ and hydrogen ion $(H^{+})$ enter normal to the magnetic field with equal momentum,then the path of $O^{-2}$ ion has a smaller curvature than that of $H^{+}$.
Reason $R$: $A$ proton with same linear momentum as an electron will form a path of smaller radius of curvature on entering a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly.
In the light of the above statement,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$
  • C
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true
  • D
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$

The magnetic field vector of an electromagnetic wave is given by $\vec{B} = B_0 \frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}} \cos(kz - \omega t)$,where $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$ represent unit vectors along the $x$ and $y$-axes,respectively. At $t = 0 \, s$,two electric charges $q_1 = 4\pi \, C$ and $q_2 = 2\pi \, C$ are located at $(0, 0, \pi/k)$ and $(0, 0, 3\pi/k)$,respectively. Both charges have the same velocity $\vec{v} = 0.5c\hat{i}$,where $c$ is the speed of light. The ratio of the magnetic force acting on charge $q_1$ to that on $q_2$ is:

An electron has mass $9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ and charge $1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$ is moving with a velocity of $10^6 \ m/s$. It enters a region where a magnetic field exists. If it describes a circle of radius $0.10 \ m$,the intensity of the magnetic field must be:
