Two particles and having equal charges are being accelerated through the same potential difference. Thereafter they enter normally in a region of uniform magnetic field and describes circular paths of radii and respectively. The mass ratio of and is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Kinetic energy gained through potential difference
If a particle of charge is accelerated through potential difference , then
So,
- Radius of circular path in magnetic field
When the particle enters normally into a uniform magnetic field , the magnetic force provides centripetal force:
Hence,
Substitute :
Thus,
since , , and are same for both particles.
- Relating radii and masses
For particles and :
Squaring both sides,
- Matching with options
So the mass ratio of and is
This corresponds to Option D.
