Question

27.32     In the Bainbridge mass spectrometer (see Fig. 27.24), the magnetic-field magnitude in the velocity selector is 0.510 T, and ions having a speed of 1.82 x 106 m/s pass through undeflected. 

(a) What is the electric-field magnitude in the velocity selector? 

(b) If the separation of the plates is 5.20 mm, what is the potential difference between the plates?

27.24 Bainbridge's mass spectrometer
utilizes a velocity selector to produce
particles with uniform speed v. In the
region of magnetic field B', particles with
greater mass (m2 > mi) travel in paths
with larger radius (R2 > R1)
