To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the motion of the charged particle in a magnetic field When a charged particle moves in a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force that acts as a centripetal force, causing it to move in a circular path. The magnetic force \( F \) can be expressed as: \[ F = qvB \] where: ...
