Two Charged Particles of Equal Mass Are Traveling in Circular

Question 17

Multiple Choice

Two charged particles of equal mass are traveling in circular orbits in a region of uniform, constant magnetic field as shown. The particles are observed to move in circular paths of radii R1 and R2 with speeds v1 and v2, respectively. Two charged particles of equal mass are traveling in circular orbits in a region of uniform, constant magnetic field as shown. The particles are observed to move in circular paths of radii R<sub>1</sub> and R<sub>2</sub> with speeds v<sub>1</sub> and v<sub>2</sub>, respectively.   As the figure shows, the path of particle 2 has a smaller radius than that of particle 1. Which one of the following statements about this system is false? A) |v<sub>1</sub>/Q<sub>1</sub>| < |v<sub>2</sub>/Q<sub>2</sub>| B) Particle 2 carries a positive charge. C) Particle 1 carries a negative charge. D) Neither particle gains energy from the magnetic field. E) The particle velocities have no components parallel to the magnetic field.
