A rectangular region with a light gray border contains a 4 by 5 uniform grid of gray cross symbols representing a magnetic field directed into the page, labeled B. On the left edge, a small solid black circle representing a particle labeled +q with mass m enters the region traveling horizontally to the right, indicated by a rightward arrow labeled v_0. Inside the magnetic field region, a smooth curved dashed line of radius R traces a semi-circular path of arc length s. The particle is shown moving along this dashed curve. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
A charged particle traveling along a circular arc in a uniform magnetic field.
A particle with positive charge \(q\) and mass \(m\) enters a region of uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) directed into the page with an initial velocity \(\vec{v}_0\) perpendicular to \(\vec{B}\). Inside the field, the particle travels along a circular arc of radius \(R\) and total path length \(s\). Which of the following correctly identifies the work done on the particle by the magnetic field over the path length \(s\), and provides the correct physical justification?
