Question: Problem 5 : A positively charged ion with charge q and mass m , initially at rest inside the source, is accelerated across a gap

Problem 5: A positively charged ion with charge q and mass m, initially at rest inside the source, is accelerated across a gap by an electric potential difference with magnitude V. The ion enters a region of uniform magnetic field B1 pointing into the page of the figure shown and follows a semi-circular trajectory of radius R1. The ion is again accelerated across the gap, increasing its speed, by an electric potential difference that has the opposite sign but has the same magnitude |V|. The ion then enters a region of uniform magnetic field B2 pointing into the page of the figure shown and follows a semi-circular trajectory of radius R2.
a. What is the ratio B2B1 of the magnitudes of the magnetic field in the different regions in terms of the radii R1 and R2 and velocities in the two regions v1 and v2?
B2B1=
b. Considering the accelerating potential, what is the ratio v2v1? Express your answer in terms of q,m, and V as needed.
v2v1=
c. If R2=2R1, what is B2B1? Express your answer in terms of q,m, and V as needed.
B2B1=
