An electron gun res electrons into a magnetic eld directed straight downward. Find the direction of the force exerted by the eld on an electron for each of the following directions of the electrons velocity: (a) horizontal and due north; (b) horizontal and 30west of north; (c)due north, but at 30 below the horizontal; (d) straight upward. (Remember that an electron has a negative charge.)

Question
A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 2.50 1026 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 250 V, the ion enters a magnetic eld of 0.500 T, in a direction perpendicular to the eld. Calculate the radius of the path of the ion in the eld.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 31 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 2.50 1026 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 250 V, the ion enters a magnetic eld of 0.500 T, in a direction perpendicular to the eld. Calculate the radius of the path of the ion in the eld.
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
