An α-particle (mass 4 amu, charge +2e) and a singly charged sulfur ion (mass 32 amu, charge +e) are initially at rest. They are accelerated through the same potential V and enter a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to their velocities. If their orbit radii are rα and rₛ respectively, find rₛ/rα.
