$A$ beam of protons enters a uniform magnetic field of $0.314 \ T$ with a velocity $4 \times 10^5 \ ms^{-1}$ in a direction making an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the direction of the magnetic field. The path of the beam is (mass of proton $= 1.6 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$).

  • A
    a circle of radius $0.2 \ m$
  • B
    a straight line
  • C
