Medium INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

A deuteron and a proton moving with equal kinetic energy enter into a uniform magnetic field at right angle to the field. If rd and rp are the radii of their circular paths respectively, then the ratio ${{{r_d}} \over {{r_p}}}$ will be $\sqrt{x}$ : 1 where x is __________.

Answer (integer) 2

Solution

<p>$R = {{\sqrt {2mK} } \over {qB}}$</p> <p>So, ${{{r_d}} \over {{r_p}}} = {{\sqrt {{m_d}} /{q_d}} \over {\sqrt {{m_p}} /{q_p}}}$</p> <p>$= \sqrt 2$</p> <p>So $x = 2$</p>
