An alpha particle (the nucleus of a helium atom) consists of two protons and two neutrons. A horizontal beam of alpha particles is injected with a speed of 2.0 105 m/s into a region with a vertical magnetic field of magnitude 0.113 T.
(a) How long does it take for an alpha particle to move halfway through a complete circle?
I am trying to apply this equation:
T = 2pieM/qB
and I thought about it, do I use the speed as my q and for m, find the mass of (two protons and two neutrons) for my m?
