Question: An alpha particle of charge + 2 e ( e = 1 . 6 1 0 1 9 C ) and mass 4 mp (

An alpha particle of charge +2e (e =1.61019 C) and mass 4mp (mp =1.661027 kg) and a doubly ionized oxygen atom 16O2+ of charge +2e and mass 16mp, are both moving in the same uniform magnetic field. The velocities of both particles are at right angles to the magnetic field. The paths of the particles have the same radius of curvature. The ratio of the kinetic energy of the alpha particle (E) to that of the 16O2+(EO) ion is
