Application +4 | -1

A double ionized

{He}^{2+}

atom travels at right angle to a magnetic field of induction

0.4 \mathrm{~T}

at a velocity of

10^5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

describing a circle of radius '

r

'. A proton travelling with same speed in the same direction in the same field will describe a circle of radius

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

r / 2

Option B is correct because the radius of the circular path is proportional to the mass and inversely proportional to the charge, leading to a radius of r/2 for the proton compared to the He2+ ion.

Which of the following statements is not true A current loop in a magnetic field Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): When currents vary with time, Newton’s third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.
Statement (II): Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart’s law.
