Question : 8
Total: 27
An α -particle and a proton of the same kinetic energy are in turn allowed to pass through a magnetic field
, acting normal to the direction of motion of the particles. Calculate the ratio of radii of the circular paths described by them.
Solution:
Formula
Calculation of ratio of radii
radius r =
=
K a = K proton
M a = 4 m p
q a = 2 q p
=
= √
