MCQ
If an electron and a proton having same momenta enter perpendicular to a magnetic field, then
  • A
    The path of proton shall be more curved than that of electron
  • B
    The path of proton shall be less curved than that of electron
  • Both are equally curved
  • D
    Path of both will be straight line

Answer

Correct option: C.
Both are equally curved
c
(c) $r = mv/qB$
Since both have same momentum, therefore the circular path of both will have the same radius.
