In separate experiments, a large number of particles (all with the same charge, but with a wide variety of masses and speeds) are fired into a region containing a uniform magnetic field. The velocities of the particles are all perpendicular to the field. What do the particles that move in orbits of the same radius have in common

Respuesta :

Answer:

  they have the same mass

Explanation:

The force applied by the field is a function of the charge and velocity, so the acceleration experienced by a particle will be dependent upon its mass. Particles in orbits with the same radius are exhibiting the same acceleration, so must have the same mass.
