Correct answer: 10
- Given data
- Singly ionized magnesium ion:
- Mass number:
- Kinetic energy:
- Magnetic field:
- Since it is singly ionized, charge magnitude is
- Mass of magnesium ion
For , the ion mass is approximately
- Use kinetic energy to find speed
We know So,
Now,
Thus,
- Radius of circular path in magnetic field
Since the ion enters perpendicular to , the radius is
Substitute values:
First numerator:
Denominator:
Therefore,
- Convert to cm
- Final answer
The radius of the path is
