Question
In the figure below, a magnetic field of 0.8 Tesla points into the page. A particle of charge -45 nC and mass 0.7 ?g is shot into the field as shown in the figure with a velocity of 0.1 km/s. What is the radius of the orbit (in meters)? (The radius is a positive quantity.) Be careful with the powers of 10. Hint: k=kilo, m=milli, ?=micro, n=nano and the SI units for B-field, charge, mass, length and time are: tesla (T), coulomb (C), kilogram (kg), meter (m) and second (s), respectively.
