Aplha Particle in Magnetic Field

Aplha Particle in Magnetic Field#

An alpha-particle (\(m = 6.64 \times 10^{-27} \textrm{ kg}, q = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} \textrm{ C}\)) travels in a circular path of radius \({{params.r}} \textrm{ cm}\) in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude \({{params.B}} \textrm{ T}\).
