electron and proton are projected with same velocity normal to the magnetic field which one will suffer greater deflection​? why

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

The deflection of a charged particle by a magnetic field is proportional to its electric charge and to its velocity.   The deflection is also inversely proportional to its mass.   So given a proton and an electron going at the same velocity in a magnetic field and having equal (but opposite) electric charge the electron will deflect much more since the ratio of the masses is 1836.
