An alpha particle (the nucleus of helium nucleus with charge +2e and mass 4.0 u (1 u = 1.66 x 10^-27 kg)) moves in a circular orbit of radius R = 7.5 cm in a uniform magnetic field of 0.6 T, where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the orbit plane. What is the speed of the alpha particle?

A proton (charge +e, mass m_p), a deuteron (charge +e, mass 2m_p), and an alpha particle (charge +2e, mass 4m_p) are accelerated from rest through a common potential difference V. Each particle enters a uniform magnetic field B, with its velocity in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field. The proton moves in a circular path of radius r_p. In terms of r_p, what is the radius r_d of the circular orbit of the deuteron and radius r_a of the alpha particle?
