Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: If oxygen ion $(O^{-2})$ and hydrogen ion $(H^{+})$ enter normal to the magnetic field with equal momentum,then the path of $O^{-2}$ ion has a smaller curvature than that of $H^{+}$.
Reason $R$: $A$ proton with same linear momentum as an electron will form a path of smaller radius of curvature on entering a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly.
In the light of the above statement,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$
  • C
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true
  • D
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$

In a mass spectrometer used for measuring the masses of ions,the ions are initially accelerated by an electric potential $V$ and then made to describe semicircular paths of radius $R$ using a magnetic field $B$. If $V$ and $B$ are kept constant,the ratio $\left(\frac{\text{charge on the ion}}{\text{mass of the ion}}\right)$ will be proportional to
