Force Acting on Moving Charges: Practice Problem & Solution

Two particles X and Y having equal charges, after being accelerated through the same potential difference, enter a region of uniform magnetic field and describe circular paths of radii R1 and R2 respectively. The ratio of masses of X and Y is :
\[\left( R_{1}/R_{2} \right)^{1/2}\]
\[\left( R_{2}/R_{1} \right)\]
\[\left( R_{1}/R_{2} \right)^{2}\]
\[\left( R_{1}/R_{2} \right)\]

1. Assertion (A): The nature of electromagnetic force acting on a moving charged particle in external magnetic field is frame dependent. Reason (R): The force acting on a charged particle always varies with shift of frame.  
2. Assertion (A): A charged particle is moving in a circle with constant speed in uniform magnetic field. If we increase the speed of particle to twice, its acceleration will become four times. Reason (R): A charge particle in circular path with constant speed in magnetic field, acceleration is given by centripetal acceleration. If speed is doubled centripetal acceleration will become four times.
