Three ions H+,He+ and O+2 having same kinetic energy pass through a region in which there width is a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to their velocity then,
H+ will be least deflected
He+ and O+2 will be deflected equally
O+2 will be deflected most
all will be deflected equally
r=mVBq=2m(KE)Bq rH+=2mP(KE)Be mp is mass of proton rHe+=2 (4mp)(KE)Be=22mp(KE)Be rO+2=2 (16mp)(KE)B(2e)=22mp(KE)Be We can see that, rHe+=rO+2 , hence they will be deflected equally and the deflection is inversely proportional radius, H+ deflects most .
