Question

The negative charged particle e moving in the xy_plane is subject to a magnetic force due to a constant magnetic field B that points in the z-direction. Assume that the electron loses 10 percent of its kinetic energy after 20 turns, as a consequence of frictional forces. Calculate the fractional change in both the radius of the orbit and the angular momentum during the same 20 turns.
