A Bainbridge mass spectrometer is composed of a velocity selector before a detection chamber immersed in a uniform magnetic field B’. The electric fieldof the velocity selector is supplied by two parallel plates having a 1.0-cm distance between them, with a 1250-V voltage source applied to
the plates. (a) Considering the path of the charged particles
in the detection chamber, indicate by proper analysistheir sign.
(b) What is the strength of the magneticfield B, requiredfor the velocity of the charged particles entering the detection chamber to be 4.625x105 m/s? The detector lies 180? from the slit. Under the influence of magnetic field B’ having a strength of 1.255 T, and direction as indicated in the figure, the ions travel a semicircular path before being detected. The beam of the charged particles is composed of one type of singly charged ions (q = e = 1.60×10-19 C). The detector records events at a distance 37.0 cm from the entrance
