Question

A uniform magnetic field of 77 T pointing in the + z direction (perpendicular to the x-y plane) is turned on so that an alpha - particle (two protons and two neutrons) is immersed in it. At the time the field is turned on, the alpha - particle is at the origin moving in the +y direction with a speed of 0.0012 c (assume this is a non-relativistic velocity: c is the speed of light) Determine the force on the alpha - particle and quantitatively describe its path in the B-field. Sketch the path followed by the alpha - particle and indicate its direction along the path. Also show its velocity and the force on it at the instant it's located at the origin.
