5PRACTICE PROBLEM
Consider a particle accelerator that moves particles along a circular path with a diameter of 72 cm. The accelerator uses a potential difference of 300 V, which reverses its direction after every half cycle. If the accelerator uses a magnetic field of 1.6 T, determine the maximum kinetic energy achieved by an alpha particle moving along this circular trajectory.
