Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : If oxygen ion () and Hydrogen ion () enter normal to the magnetic field with equal momentum, then the path of ion has a smaller curvature than that of .
Reason R : A proton with same linear momentum as an electron will from a path of smaller radius of curvature on entering a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly.
In the light of the above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below: [2025]
(1)
Radius in magnetic field,
(A) mv, B are same for and therefore therefore (A) is correct
(B) ; mv, q, B are same, therefore (R) is incorrect.
