Hot ions enter a mass spectrometer with a wide variety of speeds, moving rightward on the page, but each ion has charge +1e, regardless of their mass.
Stage 1 in the mass spec has a ā120 mT (ā) magnetic field, and an Electric field which is set so that the total (Electric + Magnetic) Force to an ion with speed 150 km/s is zero.
{ a) What magnetic Force does Lorenz say is applied to ions with this speed? (vector direction!) }
b) adjust the Electric field to cancel that magnetic force (vector direction!)
a.
we need to know the radius to determine the Electric Field
b.
18E6 N/C (ā , into page)
c.
ā18 000 N/C (ā , into page)
d.
18 000 N/C (ā , out of page)
e.
ā1.25E6 N/C (ā , leftward)
f.
8.0Eā7 N/C (ā , upward)
g.
some answer that is much different than any of these others
h.
18 N/C (ā , out of page)
