Alpha Figure 5 An alpha particle entered a magnetic field of 12.0 T as shown in Figure 5 above. The particle (of mass of 6.64 X 10-27 kg) entered in a direction perpendicular to the field with 10% speed of light. Determine the magnitude and direction of the initial force acting on the particle as it entered the field. Sketch and explain the path taken by the particle as its travels in the field. Determine the radius of the path. Now alpha particle is replaced by opposite type of charged particles, with the help of the diagram, suggest how can the particle move in a straight line without deflection. Explain your answer.

Radioactive decay
The emission of energy to produce ionizing radiation is known as radioactive decay. Alpha, beta particles, and gamma rays are examples of ionizing radiation that could be released. Radioactive decay happens in radionuclides, which are imbalanced atoms. This periodic table's elements come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Several of these kinds are stable like nitrogen-14, hydrogen-2, and potassium-40, whereas others are not like uranium-238. In nature, one of the most stable phases of an element is usually the most prevalent. Every element, meanwhile, has an unstable state. Unstable variants are radioactive and release ionizing radiation. Certain elements, including uranium, have no stable forms and are constantly radioactive. Radionuclides are elements that release ionizing radiation.
Artificial Radioactivity
The radioactivity can be simply referred to as particle emission from nuclei due to the nuclear instability. There are different types of radiation such as alpha, beta and gamma radiation. Along with these there are different types of decay as well.
