If an electron and a proton having same momenta enter perpendicular to a magnetic field, then

A

curved path of electron and proton will have same radius of curvature (ignoring the sense of revolution)

B

they will move undeflected

C

curved path of electron is more curved than that of the proton

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`Bqv=(mv^(2))/4impliesr=(mv)/(Bq)=p/(Bq)`
r will be same for electron and proton as p, B and q are of same magnitude.
