An electron and a proton are moving with the same kinetic energy along the same direction . When they pass through a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of their motion , they describe circular paths of the same radius.
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To determine whether the statement is true or false, we need to analyze the motion of an electron and a proton moving with the same kinetic energy in a magnetic field.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding Kinetic Energy**:
The kinetic energy (KE) of a particle is given by the formula:
\[
KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2
