2) A charge is accelerated from rest through a potential difference V and then enters a uniform magnetic field oriented perpendicular to its path. The field deflects the particle into a circular arc of radius R. If the accelerating potential is tripled to 3V, what will be the radius of the circular arc?

2. Suppose that in the U.S., the income velocity of money (V) is constant. Suppose, too, that every year, real GDP grows by 2.5 percent (%∆Y/year = 0.025) and the supply of money grows by 10 percent (%∆M/year = 0.10).

a. According to the Quantity Theory of Money, what would be the growth rate of nominal GDP = P×Y? Hint: %∆(X×Y)  %∆X + %∆Y.

b. In that case, what would be the inflation rate (i.e. %∆P/year)?

c. If the central bank wants the inflation rate to be 0%, what money supply growth rate (i.e. - %∆M per year) should it set?
