Two charged particles M and N are projected with same velocity in a uniform magnetic field. Then M and N are:
Correct answer: C. an electron and a proton respectively
- A. a proton and an alpha particle respectively
- B. a deuteron and an electron respectively
- C. an electron and a proton respectively
- D. rotates about the axis
Explanation
When two charged particles are projected with the same velocity in a uniform magnetic field, the trajectory each particle follows is determined by its charge-to-mass ratio.Electrons and protons have different charge-to-mass ratios. When projected with the same velocity in a magnetic field, their paths would be distinct due to their differing charge-to-mass ratios. Possible Correct Answer:(c) an electron and a proton respectively

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
