A proton, a deuteron and an a-particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular trajectories in a constant magnetic field. If rp, rd and rα denote, respectively, the radii of the trajectories of these particles, then

a
rα=rp
b
rα>rd>rp
c
rα=rd>rp
d
rp=rd=rα

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Given that Kp=Kd=Kα=K (say). We know that mp=m,md=2m and mα=4m and qp=e,qd=e and qα=2e Further, r=2mKqB⇒rp=2mKeBrd=2(2m)KeB=2rp and rα=2(4m)K1(2e)B=rp. Hence, rα=rp
