If a proton is projected in a direction perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field with velocity $v$ and an electron is projected along the lines of force,what will happen to the proton and electron?

  • A
    The electron will travel along a circle with constant speed and the proton will move along a straight line.
  • B
    Proton will move in a circle with constant speed and there will be no effect on the motion of electron.
  • C
    There will not be any effect on the motion of electron and proton.
  • D
    The electron and proton both will follow the path of a parabola.

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.

${H^ + },\,H{e^ + }$ and ${O^{ + + }}$ ions having same kinetic energy pass through a region of space filled with a uniform magnetic field $B$ directed perpendicular to the velocity of the ions. The masses of the ions ${H^ + },\,H{e^ + }$ and ${O^{ + + }}$ are respectively in the ratio $1:4:16$. As a result:
