Two isotopes of uranium, 235U (m235 = 3.90 × 10-25 kg) and 238U (m238 3.95 × 10-25 kg), are sent into a mass spectrometer with a speed of 1.0 x 105 m/s, as indicated in the sketch. Given that each isotope is singly ionized (ionized by one electron), and that the strength of the magnetic field is 0.750 T, what is the separation distance d between the two isotopes after they complete half a circular orbit?

Consider the mass spectrometer shown schematically in Active Figure 22.12. The magnitude of the electric field between the plates of the velocity selector is 2.50 103 V/m, and the magnetic field in both the velocity selector and the deflection chamber has a magnitude of 0.035 0 T. Calculate the radius of the path for a singly charged ion having a mass m = 2.18 1026 kg.
Why is the following situation impossible? Figure P28.46 shows an experimental technique for altering the direction of travel for a charged particle. A particle of charge q = 1.00 C and mass m = 2.00 1015 kg enters the bottom of the region of uniform magnetic field at speed = 2.00 105 m/s, with a velocity vector perpendicular to the field lines. The magnetic force on the particle causes its direction of travel to change so that it leaves the region of the magnetic field at the top traveling at an angle from its original direction. The magnetic field has magnitude B = 0.400 T and is directed out of the page. The length h of the magnetic field region is 0.110 m. An experimenter performs the technique and measures the angle at which the particles exit the top of the field. She finds that the angles of deviation are exactly as predicted. Figure P28.46
Determine the initial direction of the deflection of charged particles as they enter the magnetic fields as shown in Figure P22.2. Figure P22.2.

The strengths of the fields in the velocity selector of a Bainbridge mass spectrometer are B = 0.500 T and E=1.2105 Van, and tire strength of the magnetic field that separates the ions is Bo=0.750 T.

A proton (charge + e, mass mp), a deuteron (charge + e, mass 2mp), and an alpha particle (charge +2e, mass 4mp) are accelerated from rest through a common potential difference V. Each of the particles enters a uniform magnetic field B, with its velocity in a direction perpendicular to B. The proton moves in a circular path of radius rp. In terms of rp, determine (a) the radius rd of the circular orbit for the deuteron and (b) the radius ra for the alpha particle.
, A proton, deuteron, and an alpha-particle ae all accelerated from rest through the same potential difference. They then enter the same magnetic field, moving perpendicular to it. Compute the ratios of the radii of their circular paths. Assume that md= 2wmp and ma= 4mp.
Assume the region to the right of a certain plane contains a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 mT and the field is zero in the region to the left of the plane as shown in Figure P22.71. An electron, originally traveling perpendicular to the boundary plane, passes into the region of the field. (a) Determine the time interval required for the electron to leave the field-filled region, noting that the electrons path is a semicircle. (b) Assuming the maximum depth of penetration into the field is 2.00 cm, find the kinetic energy of the electron.
