Question
An electron and a proton enter a magnetic field perpendicularly. Both have same kinetic energy. Which of the following is true
✓
Answer
(b) We have $qvB = \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r}$ or $r = \frac{{mv}}{{qB}} = \frac{{\sqrt {2mK} }}{{qB}}$
For same kinetic energy $K$, we have $r \propto \sqrt m $
Hence path of proton will have larger $r$ and is therefore less curved.
