You have a great summer research position in a researchlaboratory working on generating power from fusion. You aredesigning a device that confines a hot gas of positively chargedions, called plasma, in a very long cylinder with a radius of 2.0cm. The charge density of the plasma in the cylinder is 6.0 × 10−5C/m3. Positively charged Tritium ions are to be injected into theplasma perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder in a directiontoward the center of the cylinder. Tritium is an isotope ofHydrogen with one proton and two neutrons. Your job is to determinethe speed that a Tritium ion should have when it enters the plasmacylinder so that its velocity is zero when it reaches the axis ofthe cylinder.
