Two ions of masses $4 \, amu$ and $16 \, amu$ have charges $+2e$ and $+3e$ respectively. These ions pass through a region of constant perpendicular magnetic field. The kinetic energy of both ions is the same. Then:

  • A
    lighter ion will be deflected less than heavier ion
  • B
    lighter ion will be deflected more than heavier ion
  • C
    both ions will be deflected equally
  • D
    no ion will be deflected
