A proton (mass m and charge +e) and an \(\alpha-\)particle
(mass 4m and charge +2e) are projected with the same kinetic energy at right angles to the uniform magnetic field. Which one of the following statements will be true
  1. The α–particle will bent in a circular path with a small radius than that for the proton
  2. The radius of the path of the α–particle will be greater than that of the proton
  3. The α–particle and the proton will be bent in a circular path with the same radius
  4. The α–particle and the proton will go through the field in a straight line

Answer

(C) The α –particle and the proton will be bent in a circular path with the same radius
