Q55 / 57 · JEE Advanced 2021 (Paper 1) · Physics
An -particle (mass amu) and a singly charged Sulphur ion (mass amu) are initially at rest. They are accelerated through a potential and then allowed to pass into a region of uniform magnetic field which is normal to the velocities of the particles. Within this region, the -particle and the sulphur ion move in circular orbits of radii and , respectively. The ratio is __________ .
Correct answer: 4
Solution
When a particle moves on a circular path in a magnetic field then,
According to given data,
Then,
Hence, the correct answer is 4.
