Question

32. A mass spectrometer uses a potential difference of 2.00 kV to accelerate a singly charged ion to the proper speed. Then, a 0.400 T magnetic field bends the ion into a circular path of radius 0.226 meters. What is the mass of the ion? (3.27 x 10-25 kg)  

(Hint: Because there are two unknowns (mass and velocity), you will need to set up a system of equations based on the information in the 1) electric sector where the particle gains speed, and 2) the magnetic sector where the particle travels in a curve.)
