Problem

Four identical particles, each of charge magnitude qq, move through the same uniform magnetic field of magnitude BB as described below: A: speed 2v2v, angle to the field 30∘30^{\circ} B: speed vv, angle to the field 90∘90^{\circ} C: speed vv, angle to the field 60∘60^{\circ} D: speed 3v3v, angle to the field 0∘0^{\circ} Rank the particles in descending order of the magnitude of the magnetic force they experience. Show your working in one or two lines.
