An electron with a speed of 3.55
a)The charge experiances a magnetic force only thru "vy". This
force "qvyB" is center seeking and produces circular motion with
centripetal force mvy^2/r as;
qvyB = mvy^2/r
r = mvy/qB (you can do the numbers)
With speed "vy" , the charge will travel thru one circumference
"2pir" in a time "t" as;
vy = 2pir/t
t = 2pir/vy
using the result from above part this reduces to;
t = 2pim/qB
In this time "t" the unchanged horizontal velocity "vx" will move
the charge a distance "P" as;
P = vxt = 2pimvx/qB
