In a mass spectrometer, a singly ionized 24Mg ion has a mass equal to 3.983 10-26 kg and is accelerated through a 2.80-kV potential difference. It then enters a region where it is deflected by a magnetic field of 560 G.
(a) Find the radius of curvature of the ion's orbit.

(b) What is the difference in the orbital radii of the 26Mg and 24Mg ions? Assume that their mass ratio is 26:24.
