Assertion $(A)$: When a proton and a neutron enter into a transverse magnetic field with equal speeds,they trace circular paths of equal radii.
Reason $(R)$: In a transverse magnetic field,the period of revolution of a charged particle in a circular path is directly proportional to the mass of the particle.

$A$ proton beam enters a magnetic field of $10^{-4} \ T$ normally. Given the specific charge $\frac{q}{m} = 10^{11} \ C/kg$ and velocity $v = 10^7 \ m/s$,what is the radius of the circular path described by the beam in meters?

$A$ particle of mass $m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$ and charge $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$ enters a region of uniform magnetic field of strength $B = 1 \, T$ as shown in the figure. The angle of incidence is $45^{\circ}$. The radius of the circular portion of the path is:

An electron of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is moving with a speed $v$ in a circular path of radius $r$ perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of intensity $B$. If the speed of the electron is doubled and the magnetic field is halved,what will be the radius of the resulting path?

An electron is moving in a circle of radius $r$ in a magnetic field $B$. Suddenly,the field is reduced to $B/2$. The radius of the circular path is
