Question:

Charged particles orbit magnetic field lines in the space above Mars just as they do in the space above earth, but Mars's magnetic field is much weaker so the period of an orbit is much longer. One spacecraft observed a \(1.0 \mathrm{~ms}\) period for electrons orbiting in Mars's magnetic field. What is the orbital period of a proton?
