Given that,

An electron and proton moving parallel to each other in the same direction with equal momenta enter into a uniform magnetic field.

Momentum of both electron and proton are equal.

P=mv.....(II)

We know that,

The magnetic force is

F = qvB....(II)

Where, q = charge

v = velocity

B = magnetic field

This force provides the required centripetal force for the motion along circular path whose radius is r.

We need to calculate their trajectories in the magnetic field​

Using formula of centripetal force

F_{c}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}...(III)

From equation (II) and (III)

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=qvB

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

Put the value of mv from equation (I)

r=\dfrac{p}{qB}

Hence, Their trajectories in the magnetic field​ are \dfrac{p}{qB}
