Question

An ion source is producing 6Li ions, which have charge +e and mass 9.99 × 10-27 kg. The ions are accelerated by a potential difference of 10 kV and pass horizontally into a region in which there is a uniform vertical magnetic field of magnitude B = 1.8 T. Calculate the strength of the smallest electric field, to be set up over the same region, that will allow the 6Li ions to pass through undeflected.

          An ion source is producing 6Li ions, which have
charge +e and mass 9.99 × 10-27 kg. The ions
are accelerated by a potential difference of 10 kV and pass
horizontally into a region in which there is a uniform vertical
magnetic field of magnitude B = 1.8 T. Calculate the
strength of the smallest electric field, to be set up over the same
region, that will allow the 6Li ions to pass through
undeflected.

Step 1

Since the ions are passing through undeflected, the magnetic force must be balanced by the electric force. Show more…
