Questions  

A proton is moving in a circular path with kinetic energy 8 MeV in a uniform magnetic field. What will be the kinetic energy of an α-particle if it moves in a circular path of same radius in the same magnetic field?

a
16 MeV
b
32 MeV
c
8 MeV
d
2 MeV

detailed solution

Correct option is C

KE=12mv2=12mω2r2=12mQBm2r2=Q2B2r22m∴  KEαKEp=2e2e2×mp4mp=1⇒KEα=8MeV
