\$\dfrac {mv^{2}}{R} = qvB\$For proton, \$R_{p} = \dfrac {mv}{Bq} = \dfrac {\sqrt {2M_{p}E}}{q_{p}B}\$Similarly for deuteron and \$\alpha-particle\$\$R_{d} = \dfrac {\sqrt {2M_{d}E}}{q_{d}B}\$ and \$R_{\alpha} = \dfrac {\sqrt {2M_{\alpha}E}}{q_{\alpha}B}\$According to the question\$\therefore R_{p} : R_{d} : R_{\alpha}\$or \$\dfrac {\sqrt {M_{p}}}{q_{p}} : \dfrac {\sqrt {M_{d}}}{q_{d}} : \dfrac {\sqrt {M_{\alpha}}}{q_{\alpha}}\$\$\therefore \dfrac {\sqrt {1}}{1} : \dfrac {\sqrt {2}}{1} : \dfrac {\sqrt {4}}{2}\$or \$ {1} : \sqrt {2} : 1\$.

Q: A proton, a deuteron and an \$\alpha\$-particle are projected perpendicular to the direction of a uniform magnetic field with same kinetic energy. The ratio of the radii of the circular paths described by them is

Radius of circular path \$r = \dfrac{mv}{Bq}\$Using \$p=mv = \sqrt{2mK}\$where \$K\$ is the kinetic energy of the particle.We get \$r = \dfrac{\sqrt{2mK}}{Bq}\$\$\implies\$ \$r \propto \dfrac{\sqrt{m}}{q}\$Given : \$q_{\alpha} = 2q_p\$ and \$q_d = 2q_p\$ where \$q_p\$ is the charge of proton.Also, \$m_{\alpha} =4m_p\$ and \$m_d = 2m_p\$ where \$m_p\$ is the mass of proton.\$\therefore\$ \$r_p : r_d:r_{\alpha} = \dfrac{\sqrt{m_p}}{q_p} :\dfrac{\sqrt{m_d}}{q_d}: \dfrac{\sqrt{m_{\alpha}}}{q_{\alpha}}\$Or \$r_p : r_d:r_{\alpha} = \dfrac{\sqrt{m_p}}{q_p} :\dfrac{\sqrt{2m_p}}{2q_p}: \dfrac{\sqrt{4m_p}}{2q_{p}}\$\$\implies\$ \$r_p : r_d:r_{\alpha} =\sqrt2:1:\sqrt{2}\$

The centripetal force is provided by the magnetic force\$\dfrac {mv^2}{r}=qvB\Rightarrow \dfrac {mv}{r}=qB\$\$\Rightarrow r=\dfrac {mv}{qB}=\dfrac {p}{qB}[\because p-mv]\$But \$KE=\dfrac {p^2}{2m}\Rightarrow p=\sqrt {2mKE}\$Here, KE and B are same for the three particles\$\therefore r\propto \dfrac {\sqrt m}{q}\$\$\therefore r_p : r_d : r_{\alpha}=\dfrac {\sqrt 1}{2} : \dfrac {\sqrt 2}{1} :\dfrac {\sqrt 4}{2}=1:\sqrt 2:1\$\$\Rightarrow r_{\alpha}=r_p < r_d\$.

A proton, a deuteron and an $\alpha$-particle are projected perpendicular to the direction of a uniform magnetic field with same kinetic energy. The ratio of the radii of the circular paths described by them is

Accepted Answer

Radius of circular path  $r = \dfrac{mv}{Bq}$Using  $p=mv = \sqrt{2mK}$where $K$ is the kinetic energy of the particle.We get  $r = \dfrac{\sqrt{2mK}}{Bq}$$\implies$  $r \propto \dfrac{\sqrt{m}}{q}$Given : $q_{\alpha} = 2q_p$ and  $q_d = 2q_p$   where $q_p$ is the charge of proton.Also, $m_{\alpha} =4m_p$  and  $m_d = 2m_p$ where $m_p$ is the mass of proton.$\therefore$ $r_p : r_d:r_{\alpha} = \dfrac{\sqrt{m_p}}{q_p} :\dfrac{\sqrt{m_d}}{q_d}: \dfrac{\sqrt{m_{\alpha}}}{q_{\alpha}}$Or  $r_p : r_d:r_{\alpha} = \dfrac{\sqrt{m_p}}{q_p} :\dfrac{\sqrt{2m_p}}{2q_p}: \dfrac{\sqrt{4m_p}}{2q_{p}}$$\implies$ $r_p : r_d:r_{\alpha} =\sqrt2:1:\sqrt{2}$

For the given figure, the proton and electron are moving in opposite directions to each other and is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field. Now, we know that the direction of current is taken opposite to the direction of motion of electron.So, both electron and proton have current in same direction. Therefore, the forces acting on them are given by Fleming s left hand rule and they are pointing into the plane of the paper.

The centripetal force is provided by the magnetic force$\dfrac {mv^2}{r}=qvB\Rightarrow \dfrac {mv}{r}=qB$$\Rightarrow r=\dfrac {mv}{qB}=\dfrac {p}{qB}[\because p-mv]$But $KE=\dfrac {p^2}{2m}\Rightarrow p=\sqrt {2mKE}$Here, KE and B are same for the three particles$\therefore r\propto \dfrac {\sqrt m}{q}$$\therefore r_p : r_d : r_{\alpha}=\dfrac {\sqrt 1}{2} : \dfrac {\sqrt 2}{1} :\dfrac {\sqrt 4}{2}=1:\sqrt 2:1$$\Rightarrow r_{\alpha}=r_p < r_d$.
