Assertion (A): A proton and an alpha particle having same kinetic energy are moving in circular paths in a uniform magnetic field. The radii of their circular paths will be equal.
Reason (R): The centripetal force required to move a charged particle in a circle does not depend on the magnitude of the magnetic field.

  1. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
  2. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
  3. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
  4. Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false.

Answer

(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
