$A$ particle having charge $q$ enters a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ (directed inwards) and is deflected a distance $x$ after travelling a distance $y$. The magnitude of the momentum of the particle is:

  • A
    $\frac{qBy}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{qBy}{x}$
  • C
    $\frac{qB}{2} \left( \frac{y^2}{x} + x \right)$
  • D
    $\frac{qBy^2}{2x}$
