Problem 64GP

ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
An particle and a particles deflected in opposite directions when they pass through a magnetic field.When a charged particle passes through a magnetic field, the magnetic force acts as a centripetal force and the particle deflects. If magnetic field is uniform, and the velocity and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other, the radius of curvature (eq. 22-3) can be derived from equalization of magnetic force and centripetal force in this way
