JEE MainPhysicsMagneticsMCQ+4 / −1
Two particles XXX and YYY 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 R1R_1R1​ and R2R_2R2​ respectively. The mass ratio of XXX and YYY is :

Correct answer: D

  1. Kinetic energy gained through potential difference

If a particle of charge qqq is accelerated through potential difference VVV, then

qV=12mv2qV = \frac{1}{2}mv^2qV=21​mv2

So,

v=2qVmv = \sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}v=m2qV​​

  1. Radius of circular path in magnetic field

When the particle enters normally into a uniform magnetic field BBB, the magnetic force provides centripetal force:

qvB=mv2RqvB = \frac{mv^2}{R}qvB=Rmv2​

Hence,

R=mvqBR = \frac{mv}{qB}R=qBmv​

Substitute v=2qVmv = \sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}v=m2qV​​:

R=mqB2qVmR = \frac{m}{qB}\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}R=qBm​m2qV​​

R=2qVqBmR = \frac{\sqrt{2qV}}{qB}\sqrt{m}R=qB2qV​​m​

Thus,

R∝mR \propto \sqrt{m}R∝m​

since qqq, VVV, and BBB are same for both particles.

  1. Relating radii and masses

For particles XXX and YYY:

R1R2=mXmY\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \sqrt{\frac{m_X}{m_Y}}R2​R1​​=mY​mX​​​

Squaring both sides,

mXmY=(R1R2)2\frac{m_X}{m_Y} = \left(\frac{R_1}{R_2}\right)^2mY​mX​​=(R2​R1​​)2

  1. Matching with options

So the mass ratio of XXX and YYY is

(R1R2)2\left(\frac{R_1}{R_2}\right)^2(R2​R1​​)2

This corresponds to Option D.
