Problem 3: Motion of particles in magnetic field A singly (meaning one electron is removed) charged ion 'Li (an isotope of lithium) has a mass of 1.16x10-26 kg. After being accelerated though a potential difference of 220 V (from rest), it travels horizontally to the right and enters a uniform, vertical 1.8-T magnetic field pointing upward. (a) Sketch the initial velocity, the magnetic field and the resultant magnetic force. What is the plane that the ion would travel (horizontal or vertical)? (b) (c) Sketch the path followed by this ion as you view top down onto its plane of motion. What is the radius of the path? Hint: What is the velocity of the ion after it has gone through the accelerating voltage? (d) Sketch the direction of acceleration at several points along its path (in your sketch in (b)). State its direction and compute its magnitude. (e) Explain why the speed of the particle doesn't change even though an unbalanced external force acts on it.
