A particle of charge q and mass m is accelerated from rest through a potential difference V, after which it encounters a uniform magnetic field B perpendicular to its velocity v. If the particle moves in a plane perpendicular to B,
(a) Find an expression for the radius of its circular path in terms of q, V and B.
(b) If the particle is an electron, what must the potential difference be so it describes a circular path of radius 1.5 m in a magnetic field of 0.05 T?
