Homework Statement



Electrons are accelerated between points A and B to the energy of 7.1keV, see attachment. The coordinate system was selected to have the origin at the startup point A. The electrons enter an area between two parallel plates where the magnetic field is established by running a current through the coils. It has magnitude of 0.004T and pointed in the direction of the y axis. After making a quarter of a circle, they reach a certain point K in between the plates. Report the coordinates x,y and z (in centimetres) of the point K.

I'm not sure what to do beyond what I've done already...

Homework Equations


F=qVBsin(t)
F=q(vXB)
r=(mv/qB)
KE=1/2mv^2


The Attempt at a Solution



KE=1/2mv^2
v=sqrt((2(1.135x*10^-15)/9.1*10^-31)
v=5*10^7 m/s

F=Bqv
F=.004(1.602*10^-19)5*10^7
F=3.2*10^-14 N
