Assertion: If an electron and proton possessing same kinetic energy enter an electric field in a perpendicular direction, the path of the electron is more curved than that of the proton. Reason: Electron forms a larger curve due to its small mass.

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

As where i.e., . Since electron and proton have equal charge, is the same for both of them. Here, depends on (which is given to be the same for both the particles) and as such not on their masses.
