Question
You decide to build a cyclotron (because you are bored) that will accelerate protons to 10% of the
speed of light. The largest vacuum chamber you can find is 50cm in diameter. What magnetic field
strength will you need?

well, the force to provide the centripetal acceleration might be found
Bqv=m v^2/r I would change m to relavistic mass, or real mass at that speed. Work it both ways.
