Initially at rest, a small copper sphere with a mass of 1.71
By conserving energy,
Workd done by Electric field = Kinetic energy gained
So, Vq = 0.5*mv^2
So, v = sqrt(2Vq/m) = sqrt(2*6870*5.37*10^-4/(1.71*10^-6)) = 2077.2 m/s
Now after enetering the magnetic field, the magnetic force will provide the necessary centripetal force for the sphere to exhibit circular motion
So, mv^2/r = qvB
where v = speed
B = 4.09 T
r = radius of curvature
So, r = mv/qB
= 1.71*10^-6*2077.2/(5.37*10^-4*4.09)
= 1.61 m <-----------answer
