Suppose that an ion source in a mass spectrometer produces doubly ionized gold ions, each with a mass of 3. 27\times 10-25 kg. The ions are accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1.60 kV. Then, a 0.470-T magnetic field causes the ions to follow a circular path. What is the radius of the path?
