An ion with a mass m and a magnitude of charge of 1e is initially at rest when it is accelerated by a potential difference of magnitude AV. After exiting the accelerating potential, it enters a region with a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the ion's velocity. The ion moves in a semicircle of radius R. Next, an ion with a mass m' and a magnitude of charge of 5e is accelerated by the same potential difference and deflected by the same magnetic field. The radius of its semicircular path is R = 2R. Find the ratio of the ion masses, m/m.

An electron traveling from the sun as part of the solar windstrikes the earth’s magnetosphere at latitude 80.0° N in a region wherethe magnetic field has a strength of 15.0 mT and is directed toward theearth’s center. The electron has a speed of 400 km/s and is directed towardthe earth’s axis parallel to the equator. Magnetic forces send theelectron on a helical trajectory. With what speed does the electron approach the surface of the earth?
Electrons starting from rest are accelerated through a potential difference of 240 V and fired into a region of uniform 3.5-mT magnetic field generated by a large solenoid. The electrons are initially moving in the +x-direction upon entering the field, and the field is directed into the page. Determine (a) the radius of the circle in which the electrons will move in this uniform magnetic field and (b) the initial direction of the magnetic force the electrons feel upon entering the uniform field of the solenoid.
A 1000 kg automobile drive west along the equator near Lake George in Uganda. At this location the earth’s magnetic field is 3.5 x 10 ^-5 T and points north parallel to the earth’s surface. If the automobile carries a charge of -20 x 10^-6 charge, how fast must it move so that the magnetic force balances 0.010 percent of its weight?

A deuteron in a large cyclotron in a magnetic field with B = 1.5 T and a radius of passage of 2.0 m. Due to a grazing collision with a target, the deuteron breaks apart, with a negligible loss of kinetic energy, into a proton and a neutron. Assume that the energy of the deuteron is shared equally by the protons and neutrons when the deuteron breaks apart. Determine the motion of the protons and neutrons respectively.
