An electron and a proton moving parallel...

An electron and a proton moving parallel to each other in the same direction with equal momenta enter into a uniform magnetic field which is at right angles to their velocities. Trace their trajectories in the magnetic field.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Using `(mv^2)/r=qvB`
get `r =(mv)/(qB)`
Both electron and proton will have circular trajectories of equal radii but of opposite directions.
