If a proton, deutron and α−particle on being accelerated by the same potential difference enters perpendicular to the magnetic field, then the ratio of their kinetic energies is
A
1 : 2 : 2
B
2 : 2 : 1
C
1 : 2 : 1
D
1 : 1 : 2
Answer
1 : 1 : 2
Explanation
Solution
Kinetic energy in magnetic field remains constant and it Is
K=qV⇒K∝q(V = constant)
∴Kp:Kd:Kα=qp:qd:qa=1:1:2
