A deuteron (the nucleus of an isotope of hydrogen) has a mass of 3.34×10−273.34 \times 10^{-27} kg and a charge of +e+e. The deuteron travels in a circular path with a radius of 6.96 mm in a magnetic field with magnitude 2.50 T. a. Find the speed of the deuteron. b. Find the time required for it to make half of a revolution. c. Through what potential difference would the deuteron have to be accelerated to acquire this speed?
