A chlorine ion Cl− [mass m = 35.5 u] travels with velocity ~v0 = 36, 500 m/s along the horizontal and enters a region with uniform magnetic field [size L = 12.4 cm and D = 6.2 cm]. The magnetic field is directed either intoor out-of the page. When the chlorine ion exits the region with magnetic field, it has dropped the distance d = 1.7 cm from the horizontal and the velocity vector ~v makes the angle θ = 16.6 ◦ with the horizontal, as shown
a) Describe the trajectory of the chlorine ion in the region with magnetic field. [Open-ended question]
b) Find the time of travel of the chlorine ion through the region with magnetic field!
c) Find the strength of the magnetic field!
d) Find the direction of the magnetic field!
