Two charged particles traverses indentical helical paths in a completely opposite sense in a uniform magnetic field, `vecB=B_(0)hatK`.

A

they have equal z-componenets of momenta

B

they must have equal charge

C

they necessarily represent a particle-antipartile pair

D

the charge to mass ratio satisfy `((q)/(m))_(1)+((q)/(m))_(2)=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The radius of the helical path, `r=(v sin theta)/(((q)/(b))B)` and the displacement of the charged paritcle along the magnetic field is one rotation
`=(2pi v cos theta)/(((q)/(m))B)`
Two charged particles will traverse indentical path in opposite sense is `(q)/(m)` for the both the particles is same and opposite.
