Solve the following: (a) An alpha particle (m=6.64 x 10-27 kg) contains two protons and two neutrons has no electrons to balance the positive charge of the two protons, hence it has a charge of +2. (Given charge of a proton is 1.6 x 10 19C). Assume one such alpha particle travels in a circular path of radius 27 cm in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.25T. (i) What is the speed of the alpha particle ?
