Problem 19PE

(a) At what speed will a proton move in a circular path of the same radius as the electron in Exercise 22.12? (b) What would the radius of the path be if the proton had the same speed as the electron? (c) What would the radius be if the proton had the same kinetic energy as the electron? (d) The same momentum?

Reference Exercise 22.12:

A cosmic ray electron moves at 7.50×106 m/s perpendicular to the Earth’s magnetic field at an altitude where field strength is 1.00×10−5 T . What is the radius of the circular path the electron follows?
