The field is just an exemplar of a lowly induced field and the velocity calculation is considerably more complex: (see picture) This value is also similar to one found on Wikipedia (I know the source is awful I couldn't find it anywhere else)

Yeah, annoying thing is that I've done exactly that but the answer just comes out wrong..., even then 79cm is quite a way off of 1cm

Thanks Stavros I've updated it would and it checks out fully with the SI unit of equations, is there any value I've used that seems blindingly wrong to you?

Homework Statement Basically having a problem when trying to theoretically calculate the mass of alpha particle in a charged field. r is the unknown radius of curvature m = mass of an alpha particle (6.646 *10^-27 kg) v = velocity of an alpha particle immediatly after decay (1.381 *10^7 m/s)...
