A proton and an $$\alpha $$-particle (with their masses in the ratio of 1 : 4 and charges in the ratio of 1 : 2) are accelerated from rest through a potential difference V. If a uniform magnetic field (B) is set up perpendicular to their velocities, the ratio of the radii r_p : r_{$$\alpha $$} of the circular paths described by them will be ;

There is a uniform spherically symmetric surface charge density at a distance R₀ from the origin. The charge distribution is initially at rest and starts expanding because of mutual repulsion. The figure that represents best the speed V (R(t)) of the distribution as a function of its instantaneous radius R (t) is :
