Doubly ionized helium ions are projected with a speed of perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of magnitude . Calculate the time taken by an ion to complete the circle.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The time period of a charged particle moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field is independent of its speed and is given by:
For a doubly ionized helium ion (alpha particle):
Mass,
Charge,
