An electron and a proton are moving with the same kinetic energy along the same direction, When they pass through a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of their motion, they describe circular path of the same radius. Is this statement true or false?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`r=sqrt(2mKE)/(qB) :. Lprop(sqrtm)/q` [for constant KE and B]
Here, q is same for electron and proton
Therefore, Radius of proton will be more.
