Question

A neon atom of mass 3.82×1026 kg is triplyionized. That is, three electrons are stripped from the atom sothat its charge is +3e, or 4.80×1019 C.The atom is accelerated across a potential difference of magnitude212 V, and enters a mass spectrometer whose magnetic field hasa strength of 1.25 T.
(a) What is the radius of the atom's trajectory in themagnetic field? (b) What is the radius of the trajectory of a sulfur ion, alsotriply ionized, but having mass5.64×1026 kg? (c) What is the distance between the points on the detectorplate struck by these two atoms?

Explanation / Answer

radius of a particle having mass and velocity is given by mv/qB where m is the mass v is velocity q is charge and B is the magneticfield the potential energy gained by any particle after moving through aP.D of V is q*V=0.5m*v*v       v=2qV/m solve for a and b c)for this you need to specify the distance between the target andthe source then we can solve
