An electron and a proton have equal kinetic energies. They enter a magnetic field perpendicularly. Then:

  • A
    Both will follow a circular path with the same radius.
  • B
    Both will follow a helical path.
  • C
    Both will follow a parabolic path.
  • D
    All the statements are false.

When an electron is accelerated by a potential difference of $V$ volts and enters a magnetic field,the force acting on it is $F$. What will be the force acting on the electron when it is accelerated by a potential difference of $5V$ volts and enters the same magnetic field?

Two ions having masses in the ratio $1: 1$ and charges $1: 2$ are projected into a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the field with speeds in the ratio $2: 3$. The ratio of the radii of circular paths along which the two particles move is :

If a charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field normally with a certain velocity,then the time period of revolution of the particle

Two charged particles of mass $m$ and charge $q$ each are projected from the origin simultaneously with the same speed $V$ in a transverse magnetic field $B$. If $\vec{r}_1$ and $\vec{r}_2$ are the position vectors of the particles (with respect to the origin) at $t = \frac{\pi m}{qB}$, then the value of $\vec{r}_1 \cdot \vec{r}_2$ at that time is:

$A$ charged particle moves with some initial velocity along the direction of an external magnetic field $B$. Now,if we apply a uniform electric field $E$ perpendicular to the magnetic field,then the trajectory of the charged particle will be
