- (Figure 1) shows a mass spectrometer, an analytical instrument used to identify the various molecules in a sample by measuring their charge-to- mass ratio q/m. The sample is ionized, the positive ions are accelerated (starting from rest) through a potential difference AV, and they then enter a region of uniform magnetic field. The field bends the ions into circular trajectories, but after just half a circle they either strike the wall or pass through a small opening to a detector. As the accelerating voltage is slowly increased, different ions reach the detector and are measured. Consider a mass spectrometer with a 200.00 mT magnetic field and an 8.0000 cm spacing between the entrance and exit holes. igure + AV d Detector Part A To five significant figures, what accelerating potential difference AV is required to detect the ion O,?
