Some mass spectrometers, as shown in the figure, use an electric field to give the incoming ions a certain known kinetic energy as they enter the magnetic field. Assume a magnetic field strength of 0.2 T. (a) If a certain ion carries a charge of 10 μC, has a mass of 0.7 g, and possesses an initial kinetic energy of 3.5× 10−7 J, what is the radius r of its circular path?
