Moving Charge in a Magnetic Field

A deuteron and a proton moving with equal kinetic energy enter into a uniform magnetic field at right angle to the field. If rd and rp are the radii of their circular paths respectively, then the ratio rdrp\frac{r_d}{r_p} will be x\sqrt{x}: 1 where x is __________.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 2

  1. r=2mKqBr = \dfrac{\sqrt{2mK}}{qB}; same KK, same charge ee, same BB ⇒r∝m\Rightarrow r \propto \sqrt{m}
  2. md=2mp⇒rdrp=2m_d = 2m_p \Rightarrow \dfrac{r_d}{r_p} = \sqrt{2}
  3. So x=2x = 2.
