Physics

A particle of charge q and mass m is accelerated from restthrough a potential difference V, after which it encounters auniform magnetic field B perpendicular to its velocity v. If theparticle moves in a plane perpendicular to B,

(a) Find an expression for the radius of its circular path interms of q, V and B.

(b) If the particle is an electron, what must the potentialdifference be so it describes a circular path of radius 1.5 m in amagnetic field of 0.05 T?
