Fe+ ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 500 V and are injected normally into a homogeneous magnetic field B of strength 20.0 mT. Find the radius of the circular paths followed by the isotopes with mass numbers 57 and 58. Take the mass of an ion = A (1.6 × 10−27) kg, where A is the mass number.

The circular path’s radius is 120 cm.
Explanation:
Potential difference by which there is an acceleration of the Fe+ ions, V = 500 V
Homogeneous magnetic field’s strength, B = 20 × T
Two isotopes mass numbers are m=57 and m=58
Ion’s mass = A (1.6 × ) kg
Step 1:
It is understood that the circular path’s radius explained in a magnetic field by a particle,
The acceleration through the same potential V as both the isotopes, the kinetic energy increased by the two particles will be identical.
Step 2:
Force developed by potential difference is given by
where v = applied potential
q = charge
Also we have
Step 3:
From equation ...1 we get
Step 4:
By calculating the radius of the isotope 2
From equation.....2 we get
