A cyclotron is used to produce a beam of high-energy deuterons that then collide with a target to produce radioactive isotopes for a medical procedure. Deuterons are nuclei of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one neutron and one proton, with a total mass 3.34×10−27kg. The deuterons exit the cyclotron with a kinetic energy of 6.40 MeV.

A-What is the speed of the deuterons when they exit?

B-If the magnetic field inside the cyclotron is 1.25 T, what is the diameter of the deuterons' largest orbit, just before they exit?

C-If the beam current is 350 μA how many deuterons strike the target each second?
