JEE Main 2019Magnetic Effects of Current Question with Solution

JEE Main 2019 (10 Apr Shift 1)

Question

A proton, an electron, and a Helium nucleus, have the same energy. They are in circular orbits in a plane due to magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. Let rp,re and rHe be their respective radii, then,

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
Bre<rp=rHe

Step-by-step explanation

We know, r=mvqB K.E.=12mv2
 =2mK.E.qB
K.E. is same for all particle and magnetic field B is also some.
rmq
For proton: rpmpe
For electron: remee
For Helium nuclei: rHe4mp2e=mpe
