two protons P and Q moving with a same speed enters magnetic field B1 and B2 respectively at right angles to the field direction. if B1>B2, for which proton the circular path in the magnetic field have smaller radius. Send me today I need it very urgently please.

Dear Student,

Force on a charge particle due to magnetic field= F= q( v x B) 
now Magnetic field is directed perpendicular to motion, sin(@) =1  or F =qvB 

Now this particle under this force will start moving in a circle, or in other words experience centripetal force.

F= mv2/R   where R=radius of the circle.

Now this centrifugal force = magnetic force for a circular motion.

or mv2R=qvBor R=mvqBgiven other terms were same/constant. R  1Bor,  R1R2=B2B1Now since R is inversely proportional to B so if B is larger R will be lesser.Thus as B1>B2   we have R1<R2i.e. proton P will have a lesser radius.

Regards.
