A proton with kinetic energy 68.4 MeV is seen to move in a circular path while in a region with a uniform magnetic field. What kinetic energy must an alpha particle (q = +2e, m = 6.64×10−27 kg) have if it is to move in the same circular path as the proton (q = +e, m = 1.67×10−27 kg)? MeV

An ion with a mass m and a magnitude of charge of 1 e is initially at rest when it is accelerated by a potential difference of magnitude ΔV. After exiting the accelerating potential, it enters a region with a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the ion's velocity. The ion moves in a semicircle of radius R. Next, an ion with a mass m′ and a magnitude of charge of 4e is accelerated by the same potential difference and deflected by the same magnetic field. The radius of its semicircular path is R′ = 3R. Find the ratio of the ion masses, m′/m. m′/m =

You have a long piece of wire that carries a current of I = 2 A west-to-east and extends indefinitely. Most of the wire is shielded, but there's a stretch of ℓ = 40 cm where the wire is not shielded. Find the magnetic field at a point directly south of the wire, 10 cm from the wire (perpendicularly) and 10 cm from the western edge of where the wire is not shielded (red dot). Be sure to include the direction. A charged particle with a charge of q = +0.5 C moves past this location, flying directly east at v = 100 m/s. Find the force on the particle. A different charged particle (q = +2 C, m = 0.050 kg) travels directly west-to-east at v = 100 m/s, when it encounters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field vector of B→ = (0.1 T)⊗. Find the radius of curvature of the particle's trajectory.
