$A$ proton and an $\alpha$-particle (with their masses in the ratio of $1:4$ and charges in the ratio of $1:2$) are accelerated from rest through a potential difference $V$. If a uniform magnetic field $B$ is set up perpendicular to their velocities,the ratio of the radii $r_p : r_{\alpha}$ of the circular paths described by them will be

  • A
    $1 : \sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $1 : 2$
  • C
    $1 : 3$
  • D
    $1 : \sqrt{3}$

Uniform magnetic fields of different strengths ($B_1$ and $B_2$),both normal to the plane of the paper,exist as shown in the figure. $A$ charged particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$,at the interface at an instant,moves into the region $2$ with velocity $v$ and returns to the interface. It continues to move into region $1$ and finally reaches the interface. What is the displacement of the particle during this movement along the interface? (Consider the velocity of the particle to be normal to the magnetic field and $B_2 > B_1$)

$A$ particle of mass $0.6 \,g$ and having charge of $25 \,nC$ is moving horizontally with a uniform velocity $1.2 \times 10^4 \,ms^{-1}$ in a uniform magnetic field. If the particle moves in a straight line, the value of the magnetic induction is $(g=10 \,ms^{-2})$.
