Question

IP When a charged particle enters a region of uniform magnetic field, it follows a circular path, as indicated in the figure (Figure 1) Part A Is this particle positively or negatively charged? positively charged negatively charged Previous Answers Correct Part B Suppose that the magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.190 T, the particle's speed is 5.5x106 m/s, and the radius of its path is 53.0 cm. Find the mass of the particle, given that its charge has a magnitude of 1.60 × 10-19 C. Give your result in atomic mass units, u, where 1 u 1.67 × 10-27 kg. Express your answer using two significant figures gure 1 of1 A2 ul Submit Previous Answers Request Answer X Incorrect; Try Again; 4 attempts remaining

Explanation / Answer

Radius of the path followed by particle in magnetic field is given by

R= MV/qB

0.53= (m× 5.5×10^6)/(1.6×10^-19×0.190)

M= 0.0292945×10^-25 kg

M= 2.92945×10^-27 kg

M= 1.75u
