Question 114 of 276

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled asReason R.
Assertion A:. If oxygen ion
(O−2)\left(\mathrm{O}^{-2}\right) and Hydrogen ion (H+)\left(\mathrm{H}^{+}\right)enter normal to the magnetic field with equal momentum, then the path of O−2\mathrm{O}^{-2} ion has a smaller curvature than that of H+\mathrm{H}^{+}.
Reason R : A proton with same linear momentum as an electron will form a path of smaller radius of curvature on entering a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) A\mathrm{A} is true but R\mathrm{R} is false.

r=mvqB=pqBr∝1q\begin{aligned} & r=\frac{m v}{q B}=\frac{p}{q B} \\ & r \propto \frac{1}{q}\end{aligned}
Assertion is true reason is false
