Q. An electron and a proton are injected into a uniform magnetic field at right angle to its direction with the same momentum. Then

electron's path is less curved than proton's path

proton's path will be less curved than electron's path

the paths o f both will be equally curved

both the trajectories will be straight

Correct answer is (c) the paths o f both will be equally curved
