Two particles have the same linear momentum, but particle A has four times the charge of particle B. If both particles move in a plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, what is the ratio RA/RB of the radii of their circular orbits?
Integrated Concepts (a) Show that the period of the circular orbit of a charged particle moving perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field is T = 2(m/(qB). (b) What is the frequency f? (c) What is the angular velocity ( Note that these results are independent of the velocity and radius of the orbit and, hence, of the energy of the particle. (Figure 22.64.] Figure 22.6-4 Cyclotrons accelerate charged particles orbiting in a magnetic field by placing an AC voltage on the metal Dees, between which the particles move, so that energy is added twice each orbit. The frequency is constant, since it is independent of the particle energyThe radius of the orbit simply increases with energy until the particles approach the edge and are extracted for various experiments and applications.

A 1.00-kg ball having net charge Q = 5.00 C is thrown out of a window horizontally at a speed v = 20.0 m/s. The window is at a height h = 20.0 m above the ground. A uniform horizontal magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.010 0 T is perpendicular to the plane of the balls trajectory. Find the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the ball just before it hits the ground. Hint: Ignore magnetic forces in finding the balls final velocity.

Construct Your Own Problem Consider a mass separator that applies a magnetic field perpendicular to the velocity of ions and separates the ions based on the radius of curvature of their paths in the field. Construct a problem in which you calculate the magnetic field strength needed to separate two ions that differ in mass, but not charge, and have the same initial velocity. Among the things to consider are the types of ions, the velocities they can be given before entering the magnetic field, and a reasonable value for the radius of curvature of the paths they follow. In addition, calculate the separation distance between the ions at the point where they are detected.
