Two particles \(X\) and \(Y\) having equal charges, after being accelerated through the same potential difference, enter a region of uniform magnetic field and describe circular paths of radii \(R_{1}\) and \(R_{2}\), respectively. The ratio of masses of \(X\) and \(Y\) is (A) \(\left(\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}\right)^{1 / 2}\) (B) \(\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}}\) (C) \(\left(\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}\right)^{2}\) (D) \(\left(\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}\right)\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The ratio of masses of the two particles X and Y is given by: (A) \( \left(\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}\right)^{1 / 2} \)

Step by step solution

01

Recall the Centripetal force formula

In a magnetic field, a charged particle experiences a force that makes it move in a circle. The centripetal force formula is given by: \( F = \frac{mv^2}{r} \) where \(F\) is the centripetal force, \(m\) is the mass of the particle, \(v\) is its velocity, and \(r\) is the radius of the circular path.
02

Recall the Lorentz force formula

The force acting on a charged particle in a magnetic field is known as the Lorentz force. The equation is given by: \( F = qvB \) where \(F\) is the Lorentz force, \(q\) is the charge of the particle, \(v\) is its velocity, and \(B\) is the magnetic field strength.
03

Equate the centripetal force and Lorentz force formulas

Since the centripetal force is equal to the Lorentz force in this case, we set the two equations we derived earlier equal to each other. \( \frac{mv^2}{r} = qvB \)
04

Solve for the radius

We now want to isolate the radius, \(r\), to create an equation that relates the radii to masses of the two particles. We do this by dividing both sides by \(v\), which gives us: \( \frac{mv}{r} = qB \) Now, solving for the radius, \(r\), we get: \( r = \frac{mv}{qB} \)
05

Apply the equation to both particles

Now, we can apply this equation to both particles X and Y: For particle X: \( R_1 = \frac{m_1v_1}{qB} \) For particle Y: \( R_2 = \frac{m_2v_2}{qB} \) Since both particles are accelerated through the same potential difference, their kinetic energies are equal, which means: \( \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 \)
06

Find the ratio of the masses

Now we want to find the ratio of the masses \(\frac{m_1}{m_2}\). First, divide the equation for particle X by the equation for particle Y: \( \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{m_1v_1}{m_2v_2} \) Now, recall the kinetic energy equality mentioned earlier: \( \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 \) Divide both sides of the equation by \(\frac{1}{2}v_1^2\) and then by \(\frac{1}{2}v_2^2\) to get: \( \frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{v_2^2}{v_1^2} \) Now, substitute this back into the ratio equation derived earlier: \( \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{v_2^2}{v_1^2} \) Square rooting both sides, we find the ratio of the masses: \( \sqrt{\frac{R_1}{R_2}} = \frac{m_1}{m_2} \) After analyzing the answer choices, we can see that the correct option is: (A) \( \left(\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}\right)^{1 / 2} \)
