  1. Two charged particles having identical masses and velocities enter a region of uniform magnetic field, as shown in the figure. Particle  has a charge Q1 and moves in a circular path of radius r1=R. Particle  has a charge Q2 and moves in a circular path of radius r2=2R. The two paths are shown in the figure.
