A proton and an electron are moving with the same de-Broglie wavelength (consider the nonrelativistic case and ignore mutual interaction). Then In a magnetic field both the particles describe circles of equal radius Both the particles have the same momentum The speed of the proton and the electron are in the ratio me/m, where me is the electron mass and m, the proton mas The product of mas and kinetic energy is the same for both particles
