    The charge on a particle Y is double the charge on particle X. These two particles X and Y after being accelerated through the same potential difference enter a region of uniform magnetic field and describe circular paths of radii R1 and R2 respectively. The ratio of the mass of X to that of Y is

    A)  \[{{(2{{R}_{1}}/{{R}_{2}})}^{2}}\]             

    B)  \[{{({{R}_{1}}/2{{R}_{2}})}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[R_{1}^{2}/2R_{2}^{2}\]            

    D)         \[2{{R}_{1}}/{{R}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, \[{{q}_{y}}=2{{q}_{x}}\] Radius of circular path in a magnetic field is given by                 \[r=\frac{mv}{Bq}\] \[\therefore \]  \[v=\frac{Brq}{m}\]                 \[{{v}^{2}}=\frac{{{B}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}{{q}^{2}}}{{{m}^{2}}}\] or            \[m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{{{B}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}{{q}^{2}}}{m}\] \[\therefore \]  \[KE=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{{{B}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}{{q}^{2}}}{2m}\]                         ? (i) When charge particle is accelerated by potential\[V\], then its kinetic energy                 \[KE=Vq\]                                           ... (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii)                 \[Vq=\frac{{{B}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}{{q}^{2}}}{2m}\]                 \[m=\frac{{{B}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}q}{2V}\] \[\therefore \]  \[m\propto {{r}^{2}}q\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{2}}}=\frac{r_{1}^{2}{{q}_{1}}}{r_{2}^{2}{{q}_{2}}}\]                 \[=\frac{R_{1}^{2}}{R_{2}^{2}}\times \frac{q}{2q}=\frac{R_{1}^{2}}{2R_{2}^{2}}\]
