Problem
A deuteron (md=3.34×10−27kg, q=1.60×10−19C) is accelerated from rest in a device where it moves in a plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of 1.2T. It leaves the magnetic field region when its orbit attains a radius of 0.40m. The potential difference across the acceleration gap is 1.2kV each time the particle crosses it.
(i) Calculate the kinetic energy of the deuteron on exit, in \text{MeV}.
(ii) Determine approximately how many complete revolutions the deuteron makes before it exits.
