  • question_answer
    A proton, a deutron and an a-particle having the same momentum, enters a region of uniform electric field between the parallel plates of a capacitor. The electric field is perpendicular to the initial path of the particles. Then the ratio of deflections suffered by them is

    A)            1 : 2 : 8                                    

    B)            1 : 2 : 4

    C)            1 : 1 : 2                                    

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       The deflection suffered by charged particle in an electric field is \[y=\frac{q\,ELD}{m\,{{u}^{2}}}=\frac{q\,ELD}{{{p}^{2}}/m}\]        (p =mu)                    Þ \[y\propto \frac{qm}{{{p}^{2}}}\] Þ yp : yd : ya \[=\frac{{{q}_{p}}{{m}_{p}}}{p_{p}^{2}}:\frac{{{q}_{d}}{{m}_{d}}}{p_{d}^{2}}:\frac{{{q}_{\alpha }}{{m}_{\alpha }}}{p_{\alpha }^{2}}\]                    Since pa = pd = pp  (given)                    mp : md : ma = 1 : 2 : 4 and qp : qd : qa = 1 : 1 : 2                    Þ yp : yd : ya = 1 ´1 : 1 ´ 2 : 2 ´ 4 = 1 : 2 : 8
