Question

Shown in the figure below is an experiment with an electron (q = -1.602e-19 Coulombs, m = 9.109e-31 kg) fired into a magnetic field. The magnetic field is of strength B = 1.66e-04 Tesla and is directed into the screen. The electron is fired with a velocity v = 3.49e+06 m/s as shown.

Which path is followed by the electron?

Trajectory A
Trajectory B    


What is the radius of the circular path?  meters
What is the time spent by the electron in the magnetic field?  seconds
