An electrically charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the field with a velocity $v$. Then, it travels:

  • A
    in a straight line without acceleration
  • B
    with force in the direction of the field
  • C
    in a circular path with a radius directly proportional to $v^2$
  • D
    in a circular path with a radius directly proportional to its velocity

$A$ proton and a deuteron,both having the same kinetic energy,enter perpendicularly into a uniform magnetic field $B$. For the motion of the proton and deuteron on circular paths of radii ${R_p}$ and ${R_d}$ respectively,the correct statement is:

Two charged particles,having the same kinetic energy,are allowed to pass through a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of motion. If the ratio of the radii of their circular paths is $6:5$ and their respective masses ratio is $9:4$,then the ratio of their charges will be.

The figure shows the face of a cathode-ray oscilloscope tube,as viewed from the front. The electron beam is coming out normally from the plane of the paper. The electron beam passes through a region where there are electric and magnetic fields directed as shown. The deflections of the spot from the center of the screen produced by the electric field $E$ and the magnetic field $B$ separately are equal in magnitude. Which one of the diagrams below shows a possible position of the spot on the screen when both fields are operating?
