An unknown particle travelling with a velocity of 3.12 x 105 m/s enters a 54 mT magnetic field and curves in a circular path with a radius of 12 cm. Determine the charge-to-mass ratio, enter that value in the first blank (with three significant figures of accuracy). From the table of particles on your data sheet (showing data for the charge and mass for alpha particle, electron, proton, and neutron), the identity of the unknown particle is most likely.

An unknown particle travelling with a velocity of 3.12 x 105 m/s enters a 54 mT
magnetic field and curves in a circular path with a radius of 12 cm.
Determine the charge-to-mass ratio, enter that value in the first blank (with three
significant figures of accuracy).
From the table of particles on your data sheet (showing data for the charge and mass
for alpha particle, electron, proton, and neutron), the identity of the unknown
particle is most likely.
