An electron and a proton moving with same speed enter the same magnetic field region at right angles to the direction of the field. For which of the two particles will the radius of the circular path be smaller?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`:.` Radius of circular path `r = (mv)/(Bq)`. For same speed v, the mass of electron is much less than that of proton. Hence `r_e < < r_p`.
