Consider a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.2 T which is directed along the direction of the positive x axis. A positron, which was accelerated by a potential difference of 1 kV, enters this region of the magnetic field with a velocity v which forms an angle of 85 with the x axis. For this case in which the path that the positron describes is helical, as shown in Figure 1, determine:a) The radius r of the helical path.b) The pitch p of the helical path.

A long, rectangular loop of width w, mass m, and resistance R is at rest, with the plane of the loop parallel to the ground. Immediately to the left of the loop is a region of uniform magnetic field B→ that points out of the screen.
