MCQ
A beam consisting of protons and electrons moving at the same speed goes through a thin region in which there is a magnetic field perpendicular to the beam. The protons and the electrons:
  • A
    Will go undeviated.
  • B
    Will be deviated by the same angle and will not separate.
  • C
    Will be deviated by different angles and hence separate.
  • D
    Will be deviated by the same angle but will separate.

Answer

  1. Will be deviated by different angles and hence separate.

Explanation:

$\vec{\text{F}}=\text{q}(\text{V}\times\text{B})$

Charge proton is poritive = e

Fp = evB

Charge of electron is negative = -e

Fe = -evB

They will be deviated by different angles and Hence separate.
