this question, we have to consider an experimental setup where charged particles (electrons or protons) are first accelerated by an electric field and then injected into a region of constant magnetic field with a field strength of 0.55 T. What is the potential difference, in volts, required to accelerate electrons to a speed of 5.8 * 10^(7) ? Also what is the radius of curvature, in meters, of the path of a proton accelerated through this same potential after the proton crosses in

 For this question, we have to consider an experimental setup where charged particles (electrons or protons) are first accelerated by an electric field and then injected into a region of constant magnetic field with a field strength of 0.55 T. What is the potential difference, in volts, required to accelerate electrons to a speed of 5.8 * 10^(7) ? Also what is the radius of curvature, in meters, of the path of a proton accelerated through this same potential after the proton crosses into the region with the magnetic field?
