JEE Main 2002 Physics question

If an electron and a proton having same momenta enter perpendicular to a magnetic field, then

(1)curved path of electron and proton will be same (ignoring the sense of revolution)Correct
(2)they will move undeflected
(3)curved path of electron is more curved than that of the proton
(4)path of proton is more curved

Answer: (1)

Solution

The radius of the circular path is . Both particles have the same momentum and the same magnitude of charge , so they move in circles of the same radius (only
