A beta particle is deflected more that an alpha particle in an electric field. This is because a beta particle ( a high energy, fast moving electrons) is much smaller and lighter than an alpha particle( a helium atom). According to Newton's Third law of Motion: An object that is moving will continue to move in a straight line unless an external force acts upon it. An object at rest will continue to be at rest unless a force acts upon it. Newton's Third Law of Motion is also known as the Law of Inertia. Inertia is the reluctance of an object to start moving when it is at rest and to stop moving when is is moving. Inertia is directly proportional to mass. Hence, Since alpha particles have a much larger mass than a beta particle, the inertia of an alpha particle will be much larger than that of a beta particle. Hence, for the same force applied, an alpha particle will be displaced less than a beta particle.

Beta particles are more deflected. Why

beta particles have a charge of absolute value 1 (sign - for matter electrons, but the sign has no effect on the answer)

Alpha particles have a charge of +2 : absolute value =2 , but their mass is more than 7000 that of electron. When the Pericles are deflected, the value of the deflection increases with charge absolute value but diminishes with mass. So with charge only twice of the electron a mass 7000 more , the alpha particles are less deflected than electrons

For an image you can imagine the electron as a bike and the alpha particle as a big truck. Under an attraction the bike will make a bigger motion than the truck

The electrical and magnetic force on an alpha particle is twice that on a beta (because the charge on an alpha is twice as large in magnitude). However, the mass of an alpha particle is nearly 10,000 times that of a beta, so the deflection (measured in terms of angular divergence from an initial path when travelling at a specified velocity) in an electric or magnetic field would be much less.

Use qE=mV^2/r
qE={m(E/B)^2}/r

on simplifying
r=(mE)/(B^2q)

compare with this for both
mass and charge of beta part. is equal to mass and charge of electron

mass of alpha part. is four times the mass of proton and charge is equal to 2 times the proton.


Larger is r smaller is deflection and vice versa.

they have a favorable and detrimental cost due the ozone it reflects because a gamma ray will reason the human race to extinguish. If a planet like mars get hit by one the planet gained't have a lot distinction yet even if it truly is a huge gamma ray it really is going to blow piece of it. Gamma rays ensue as a lot as ten cases each and every 3 seconds
