Question
Proton, Deuteron and alpha particle of the same kinetic energy is moving in circular trajectories in a constant magnetic field. The radii of the proton, deuteron and alpha particle are respectively rp, rd and rα. Which one of the following relations is correct?
-
rα = rp= rd
-
rα = rp< rd
-
rα > rd> rp
-
rα = rd> rp
Solution
B.
rα = rp< rd
