Answer

$r = 4.85~mm$

Work Step by Step

We can express the kinetic energy in units of joules: $K = (10.0\times 10^6~eV)(\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}~J}{1~eV}) = 1.6\times 10^{-12}~J$ We can find an expression for the speed: $K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ $v^2 = \frac{2K}{m}$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}$ We can find the radius according to Chapter 28: $r = \frac{mv}{\vert q \vert B}$ $r = \frac{m\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}}{\vert q \vert B}$ $r = \frac{\sqrt{2Km}}{\vert q \vert B}$ $r = \frac{\sqrt{(2)(1.6\times 10^{-12}~J)(9.109\times 10^{-31}~kg)}}{(1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)(2.20~T)}$ $r = 4.85\times 10^{-3}~m$ $r = 4.85~mm$
