B
Trajectory of proton is less curved
b (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.

An electric current passes through a long straight wire. At a distance $5\, cm$ from the wire, The magnetic field is $B$. The field at $20\, cm$ from the wire would be
A cylindrical conductor of radius $'R'$ carries a current $'i'$. The value of magnetic field at a point which is $R/4$ distance inside from the surface is $10\,T$. Find the value of magnetic field at point which is $4R$ distance outside from the surface
Which one of the following options represents the magnetic field $\vec{B}$ at $O$ due to the current flowing in the given wire segments lying on the $x y$ plane?
Two insulated circular loop $A$ and $B$ radius ' $a$ ' carrying a current of ' $\mathrm{I}$ ' in the anti clockwise direction as shown in figure. The magnitude of the magnetic induction at the centre will be :
Two parallel long current carrying wire separated by a distance $2 \mathrm{r}$ are shown in the figure. The ratio of magnetic field at $\mathrm{A}$ to the magnetic field produced at $C$ is $\frac{x}{7}$. The value of $x$ is $\qquad$
An electron moving with a velocity ${\vec V_1} = 2\,\hat i\,\, m/s$ at a point in a magnetic field experiences a force ${\vec F_1} = - 2\hat j\,N$ . If the electron is moving with a velocity ${\vec V_2} = 2\,\hat j \,\,m/s$ at the same point, it experiences a force ${\vec F_2} = + 2\,\hat i\,N$ . The force the electron would experience if it were moving with a velocity ${\vec V_3} = 2\hat k$ $m/s$ at the same point is
A galvanometer gives full scale deflection with $0.006$ A current. By connecting it to a $4990 \ \Omega$ resistance, it can be converted into a voltmeter of range $0-30 \ V$. If connected to a $\frac{2 n }{249} \Omega$ resistance, it becomes an ammeter of range $0-1.5 \ A$. The value of $n$ is:
The figure shows three situations when an electron with velocity $\vec v$ travels through a nuniform magnetic field $\vec B$ . In each case, what is the direction of magnetic force on the electron?
The magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil of radius $r$ carrying current $I$ is ${B_1}$. The field at the centre of another coil of radius $2 r$ carrying same current $I$ is ${B_2}$. The ratio $\frac{{{B_1}}}{{{B_2}}}$ is
