In a chamber
In a chamber, a uniform magnetic field of 6.5 G (1 G = 10^–4 T) is maintained. An electron is shot into the field with a speed of 4.8 × 10^6 m/s normal to the field. Explain why the path of the electron is a circle. Determine the radius of the circular orbit. (e =1.6 × 10^–19 C, me= 9.1×10^–31 kg)
