Questions  

Two particles X and Y having equal charges, after being accelerated through the same potential difference, enter a region of uniform magnetic field and describe circular paths of radii R1, and R2, respectively. The ratio of masses of X and Y is

a
R1/R21/2
b
R2/R1
c
R1/R22
d
R1/R2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

12mv2=qV   or   v=2qVm Centripetal force, mv2R=qvB ∴  v=qBmR  Hence, 2qVm=qBmR or R=2mVq1/2×1B Here, V, q and B areconstant. Hence m∝R2  So,   m1m2=R1R22
