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.
