    Answer:

    208 Joules

    Explanation:

    The radius of the circular path the charge moves, r = 26 m

    The magnetic force acting on the charge particle, F = 16 N

    Centripetal force, F_c = m·v²/r

    Kinetic energy, K.E. = (1/2)·m·v²

    Where;

    m = The mass of the charged particle

    v = The velocity of the charged particle

    r = The radius of the path of the charged particle

    Whereby the magnetic force acting on the charge particle = The centripetal force, we have;

    F = F_c = m·v²/r = 16 N

    (1/2) × r × F_c = (1/2) × r × m·v²/r = (1/2)·m·v² = K.E.

    ∴ (1/2) × r × F_c = (1/2) × 26 m × 16 N =  = (1/2)·m·v² = K.E.

    ∴ 208 Joules = K.E.

    The kinetic energy of an particle moving in the circular path, K.E. = 208 Joules.
