Velocity Selector

Question Text

A charged particle moves through a velocity selector at constant velocity. In the selector, \( E = {{params_E}} \times 10^{4}\textrm{ N/C}\) and \(B = {{params_B}}\textrm{ T}\). When the electric field is turned off, the charged particle travels in a circular path of radius \({{params_r}}\textrm{ mm}\). Determine the charge-to-mass ratio of the particle.
