H+, He+ and O2+ all having the same kinetic energy pass through a region in which there is a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to their velocity. The masses of H+, He+ and O2+ are 1 amu, 4 amu and 16 amu respectively. Then
  1. H+ will be deflected most
  2. O2+ will be deflected most
  3. He+ and O2+ will be deflected equally
  4. all will be deflected equally

Answer

(A) H + will be deflected most, (C) He + and O 2+ will be deflected equally
