Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : If oxygen ion \(\left({\mathrm{O}}^{-2}\right)\) and Hydrogen ion \(\left({\mathrm{H}}^{+}\right)\)enter normal to the magnetic field with equal momentum, then the path of \({\mathrm{O}}^{-2}\) ion has a smaller curvature than that of \({\mathrm{H}}^{+}\).
Reason R : A proton with same linear momentum as an electron will form a path of smaller radius of curvature on entering a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly.
In the light of the above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below
