Two equal charges enter a magnetic field oriented along the positive z-axis. The particles are initially at the origin. Charge A has a velocity
= v0
+ v0
+ v0
and charge B has a velocity
= 2v0
+

. In both cases the path of the motion will be a helix. What will be the difference in the patterns of motion?
A) The helix for B will have wider circles spread further apart.
B) The helix for B will have wider circles closer to each other.
C) The helix for B will have same-size circles as A, but spread further apart.
D) The helix for B will have same-size circles as A, but grouped closer to each other.
E) Both helixes will look the same.
