Answer:
B) the particle’s momentum.
Explanation:
We know that
The centripetal force on the particle when its moving in the radius R and velocity V
The magnetic force on the particle when the its moving with velocity V in the magnetic filed B and having charge q
At the equilibrium condition
Momentum = m V
Therefore we can say that the radius of curvature is directly proportional to the particle momentum.
B) the particle’s momentum.
