A singly ionized 24Mg ion (mass 3.983 1026 kg) is accelerated through a 2.5-kV potential difference

Question:

A singly ionized 24Mg ion (mass 3.983 × 10–26 kg) is accelerated through a 2.5-kV potential difference and deflected in a magnetic field of 557 G in a mass spectrometer.

(a) Find the radius of curvature of the orbit for the ion.

(b) What is the difference in radius for 26Mg and 24Mg ions? (Assume that their mass ratio is 26/24.)
