The question is incomplete. I can help you by adding the information missing. They want you to calculate a) the radius of the cyclotron orbit for an electron with speed 1.0 * 10^6 m/s^2 and b) the radius of a cyclotron orbit for a proton with speed 5.0 * 10^4 m/s.

The two tasks involve combining the equations of the magnectic force and the centripetal force in a circular motion.

When you do that, you will obtain an expression to find the radius of the circular motion, which is the radius of the cyclotron that impulses the particles.

a)

Magentic force, F = q*v*B

q is the charge of the electron = 1.6 * 10^ -19 C
v is the speed = 1.0 * 10 ^ 6 m/s
B is the magentic field = 5.0 * 10 ^-5 T

Centripetal force, F = m*Ac = m * v^2 / R

where,

Ac = centripetal acceleration
m = mass of the electron = 9.11 * 10 ^-31 kg
R = the radius of the orbit

Now equal the two forces: q*v*B = m * v^2 / R => R =  m*v / (q*B)

=> R = (9.11 * 10^31 kg) (1.0*10^6m/s) / [ (1.6 * 10^-19C)* (5.0 * 10^-5T) ]

=> R = 0.114 m

b) The equations are the same, just now use the speed, charge and mass of the proton instead of those of the electron.

R = m*v / (qB) = (1.66*10^-27 kg)(5.0*10^4 m/s) / [(1.6*10^-19C)(5*10^-5T)]

=> R = 10.4 m

A 49.3 g ball of copper has a net charge of 2.0 µc. what fraction of the copper's electrons has been removed? (each copper atom
Serggg [28]
First, find how many copper atoms make up the ball: 
 moles of atoms = (49.3 g) / (63.5 g per mol of atoms) = 0.<span>77638</span><span>mol 
</span> # of atoms = (0.77638 mol) (6.02 × 10^23 atoms per mol) = 4.6738*10^23<span> atoms </span>

<span> There is normally one electron for every proton in copper. This means there are normally 29 electrons per atom:
</span> normal # electrons = (4.6738 × 10^23 atoms) (29 electrons per atom) = <span> <span>1.3554</span></span><span>× 10^25 electrons 
</span>
<span> Currently, the charge in the ball is 2.0 µC, which means -2.0 µC worth of electrons have been removed.
</span><span> # removed electrons = (-2.0 µC) / (1.602 × 10^-13 µC per electron) = 1.2484 × 10^13 electrons removed
 
</span><span> # removed electrons / normal # electrons = </span>
<span>(1.2484 × 10^13 electrons removed) / (1.3554 × 10^25 electrons) = 9.21 × 10^-13 </span>

<span> That's 1 / 9.21 × 10^13 </span>
