An electron,a proton,and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular orbits of radii $r_e, r_p$,and $r_{\alpha}$ respectively in a uniform magnetic field $B$. The relation between $r_e, r_p$,and $r_{\alpha}$ is:

  • A
    $r_e < r_p = r_{\alpha}$
  • B
    $r_e < r_p < r_{\alpha}$
  • C
    $r_e < r_{\alpha} < r_p$
  • D
    $r_e > r_p = r_{\alpha}$
