A velocity selector uses a fixed electric field of magnitude E and the magnetic field is varied to select particles of various energies. If a magnetic field of magnitude B is used to select a particle of a certain energy and mass, what magnitude of magnetic field is needed to select a particle of equal mass but twice the energy?
