Trajectories of Ion 1 and Ion 2 in a uniform magnetic field.
Trajectories of Ion 1 and Ion 2 in a uniform magnetic field.
Two identical positively charged ions, Ion 1 and Ion 2, enter a region containing a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) directed perpendicular to their velocity vectors. Ion 1 enters the field with speed \(v_0\), and Ion 2 enters with speed \(2v_0\). Which of the following correctly compares the period \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) required for each ion to complete one full circular revolution, and provides the correct justification?
