JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 10th April Morning Slot - No. 1)

A proton, an electron, and a Helium nucleus, have the same energy. They are in circular orbits in a plane due to magnetic field perpendicualr to the plane. Let rp, re and rHe be their respective radii, then
re < rp < rHe
re < rp = rHe
re > rp > rHe
re > rp = rHe

Explanation

$$r = {{mv} \over {qB}} = {{\sqrt {2mK} } \over {qB}}$$

$${r_{He}} = {r_p} > {r_e}$$
