Question

The radius of curvature of the path of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is directly proportional to

The correct answer is

momentum of the charged particle

Based on our analysis of the formula r = (p)/(qB), the radius of curvature is directly proportional to the momentum of the charged particle. Therefore, the radius of curvature of the path of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is directly proportional to the momentum of the charged particle.
