An electron and a proton are moving on straight parallel paths with same velocity. They enter a semi infinite region of uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the velocity.
Which of the following statement(s) is /are true?

A

They will never come out of the magnetic field region.

B

They will never come out travelling along parallel paths.

C

They will never come out at the same time.

D

They will never come out at different times.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(b,d)

`t_p =(2 thetaxxR_P)/v =(2 thetaxxm_Pv)/(eBv)=(2 theta m_P)/(eB)`

`t_e=((2pi- 2 theta)xxR_e)/v = ((2 pi-2 theta)m_(e)v)/(eBv)=((2pi- 2 theta)m_e)/(eB)`
`t_e!=t_p`
