The force acting on a moving charge q in a magnetic field B is given by

F = qvBsinθ

Substituting the value of F,q, and sinθ (The value of sinθ = 90o ,which is equal to 1)

We get ,v = F/qBsinθ

= 3.84 x 10-14 /2 x 1.6 x 10-16 x 0.2

= 384 x 105 /2 x 16 x 2

= 6 x 105 ms-1

The speed of alpha particle is 6 x 105 ms-1

Is helium paramagnetic?

AnswerThere are two variants of helium -- helium 3 and helium 4. Helium 4 is not magnetic but helium 3 is. Its magnetism is, however, of different nature than e.g. that of iron. The magnetism of helium 3 is used for medical lung imaging.
