Two charged particles entering a uniform magnetic field directed into the page.
Two identical ions, each having mass \(m\) and positive charge \(q\), enter a region of uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) with their velocities perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. Ion 1 moves with speed \(v_0\) and Ion 2 moves with speed \(3v_0\). Both ions undergo uniform circular motion within the field. What is the ratio of the orbital period of Ion 2 to the orbital period of Ion 1, \(\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\)?
