### Educational Content: Velocity Selector and Charged Particles

A charged particle moves through a velocity selector at constant velocity. The velocity selector is configured with "crossed" electric and magnetic fields of magnitude:

- \( E = 1.50 \times 10^4 \, \text{N/C} \)
- \( B = 0.4 \, \text{T} \)

#### Problem Statement

**a.** What is the velocity of the charged particle?

- **Solution:**
  - Velocity of the charged particle is \([ \, ] \times 10^4 \, \text{m/s} \).

**b.** When the electric field is turned off, the charged particle travels in a circular path of radius 6 mm, as it travels through the magnetic field (still at \( B = 0.4 \, \text{T} \)). What is the mass-to-charge ratio of the particle?

- **Solution:**
  - Mass-to-charge ratio of the particle is \([ \, ] \, \text{kg/C} \). (Use the "E" notation to enter your answer in scientific notation. For example, to enter \( 3.14 \times 10^{-12} \), enter "3.14E-12".)

### Explanation of Concepts

1. **Velocity Selector:**
   - A device that uses perpendicular electric and magnetic fields to separate particles based on their velocities. The fields exert forces that can balance each other, allowing only particles with a specific velocity to pass through undeflected.

2. **Circular Motion in a Magnetic Field:**
   - When the electric field is removed, charged particles move in a circular path due to the magnetic force. The radius of the path helps determine properties such as the mass-to-charge ratio.

### Hints

- For part (a), use the principle that electric ( \( E \) ) and magnetic ( \( B \) ) forces balance each other: \( qE = qvB \), leading to \( v = \frac{E}{B} \).
- For part (b), use the relationship for circular motion: \( qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r} \), to find the mass-to-charge ratio. Here, \( r \) is the radius of the circle.
