A research group is investigating short-lived radioactive isotopes. They need to design a way to transport alpha-particles (helium nuclei) from where they are made to a place where they will collide with another material to form an isotope. The beam of alpha-particles (m=6.64×10−27kg, q=3.2×10−19C) bends through a 90-degree a region with a uniform magnetic field of 0.050 T (Figure 11.10) (a) In what direction should the magnetic field be applied? (b) How much time does it take the alpha-particles to traverse the uniform magnetic field region
