$$r=mvqB$$  ⇒r∝m $$(for$$ v same for both sense and q,B are $$same)direction$$ of motion is given by Fleming's left hand ruleCase $$-1$$ field into the plane of paper Magnetic force is towards centre electron revolves in clockwise so current is in anticlockwise  Case $$-2$$ field into the plane of paper Magnetic force is towards centre Proton revolves in clockwise so current is in clockwise
