A proton (p*) and an electron (e ) both enter a chamber that has a uniform magnetic field of .5T. Both move perpendicular to the magnetic field at a velocity of 6 x 107 m/s. (The diagram below shows the field coming out of the paper and particles initially moving from left to right.) O O O O O O O O O O O a) What is the initial direction of the force on the electron? b) What is the initial direction of the force on the proton? c) Sketch the approximate path of each particle on the diagram d) Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force each particle experiences e) Calculate the radius of each path
