Moving Charge in a Magnetic Field

Ionized hydrogen atoms and α\alpha-particles with same momenta enters perpendicular to a constant magnetic field, B. The ratio of their radii of their paths rH: rα\alpha will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. r=pqBr = \frac{p}{qB}; with the same pp and BB, r∝1qr \propto \frac{1}{q}.
  2. qH=eq_H = e, qα=2eq_\alpha = 2e, so rHrα=2ee=2\frac{r_H}{r_\alpha} = \frac{2e}{e} = 2
  3. So the answer is (d) 2 : 1.
