When a charged particle moves perpendicularly to the direction of a uniformmagnetic field, the direction of the magnetic force is perpendicular to both thedirection of the magnetic field and the direction of the velocity of the chargedparticle. Accordingly, the charge begins to move in a circular path. Since thedirection of the magnetic force is toward the center of the circular path thecharged particle moves along, the magnetic force is a centripetal force (recallcentripetal forces from chapter 5 of the text, covered in PHY 2010). A schematicof such motion is shown below. The "X"s represent the magnetic field that isdirected into the plane of this screen. The direction of velocity and magnetic forcelie within the plane of this screen and are at right angles to one another, as shownbelow.If a charge of magnitude 7.45x1017C, with speed 4.66x106 m/s, and mass7.12x10 25kg moves within the magnetic field of magnitude 3.96x102T, what isthe resulting radius of the path (in meters) the particle traces out?Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in meters, however do notexplicitly include units in your answer.
