According to Fleming's left hand rule, the force on electrons
will be toward right (D).
Also, by the same rule we find that the force on proton and
`alpha`- particle is twoward left.
Now, since the magnetic force will behave as centripetal force
`:. (mv^2)/r=qvB implies (mv)/(qB) =r or rpropm/q`
For proton `rprop1/1=1,` For `alpha`-particle `rprop4/2=2`
`:.` Radius will be greater for `alpha`-particle
`:. alpha`-particle will take path B.
