$A$ proton,a deuteron and an $\alpha$-particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular trajectories in a constant magnetic field. If ${r_p}$,${r_d}$ and ${r_\alpha}$ denote respectively the radii of the trajectories of these particles,then:

  • A
    ${r_\alpha} = {r_p} < {r_d}$
  • B
    ${r_\alpha} > {r_d} > {r_p}$
  • C
    ${r_\alpha} = {r_d} > {r_p}$
  • D
    ${r_p} = {r_d} = {r_\alpha}$

$A$ beam of electrons is moving with constant velocity in a region having electric and magnetic fields of strength $20 \ V m^{-1}$ and $0.5 \ T$ at right angles to the direction of motion of the electrons. What is the velocity of the electrons in $m s^{-1}$?

Assertion $(A)$: When a proton and a neutron enter into a transverse magnetic field with equal speeds,they trace circular paths of equal radii.
Reason $(R)$: In a transverse magnetic field,the period of revolution of a charged particle in a circular path is directly proportional to the mass of the particle.
