    A proton and an alpha particle both enter a region of uniform magnetic field B, moving at right angles to the field B. If the radius of circular orbits for both the particles is equal and the kinetic energy acquired by proton is 1 MeV, the energy acquired by the alpha particle will be

    A)  4 MeV           

    B)  0.5 MeV             

    C)  1.5 MeV        

    D)  1 MeV

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Radius in magnetic fields of circular orbit, \[R=\frac{mV}{qB}=\frac{\sqrt{2mB}}{qB}\] and total energy of a moving particle in a circular orbit, \[E=\frac{{{q}^{2}}{{B}^{2}}{{R}^{2}}}{2m}\] For a proton enter in a region of magnetic field \[{{E}_{1}}=\frac{{{e}^{2}}\times {{B}^{2}}\times {{R}^{2}}}{2\times {{m}_{p}}}\]is the mass of proton. Similarly for a \[\alpha \]-particle moves in a uniform magnetic field \[{{E}_{2}}\frac{{{(2e)}^{2}}\times {{B}^{2}}\times {{R}^{2}}}{2\times (4{{m}_{p}})}\]        \[[\because \,{{m}_{\alpha }}\,=4{{m}_{p}}]\] Dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i), we get \[\frac{{{E}_{2}}}{{{E}_{1}}}=\frac{{{(2e)}^{2}}\times {{B}^{2}}\times {{R}^{2}}}{2\times (4{{m}_{p}})}\times \frac{2\times {{m}_{p}}}{{{e}^{2}}\times {{B}^{2}}\times {{R}^{2}}}\] \[\frac{{{E}_{2}}}{{{E}_{1}}}=1\Rightarrow {{E}_{2}}={{E}_{1}}=1\,\text{MeV}\]
