Two charged particles, having same kinetic energy, are allowed to pass through a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of motion. If the ratio of radii of their circular paths is and their respective masses ratio is . Then, the ratio of their charges will be :
- A8 : 5
- B5 : 4
- C5 : 3
- D8 : 7
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Use the radius formula in a magnetic field
For a charged particle moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field,
- Relate velocity to kinetic energy
Given both particles have the same kinetic energy,
So,
Substitute into the radius formula:
Since and are same for both particles,
- Write the ratio of radii
Thus,
Given:
So,
Hence,
Therefore,
- Match with options
So the ratio of their charges is
This matches Option B.
