A positively charged particle entering a semi-infinite magnetic field region at the origin.
A positively charged particle entering a semi-infinite magnetic field region at the origin.
A region of space defined by \(x > 0\) contains a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) directed perpendicularly out of the page. Four positively charged particles are launched one at a time from the origin \((0,0)\) along the positive \(x\)-axis into the magnetic field region, as shown in the figure.

ParticleMassChargeInitial speed
1\(m_0\)\(+q_0\)\(v_0\)
2\(m_0\)\(+2q_0\)\(2v_0\)
3\(2m_0\)\(+q_0\)\(v_0/2\)
4\(2m_0\)\(+2q_0\)\(v_0\)

Which of the following correctly ranks the dwell time \(t\), defined as the time spent inside the magnetic field region before exiting, for the four particles?
