Question

(1096) Problem 7: In a mass spectrometer, a specific velocity can be selected from a distribution by injecting charged particles between a set of plates with a constant electric field between them and a magnetic field across them (perpendicular to the direction of particle travel). If the fields are tuned exactly right, only particles of a specific velocity will pass through this region undeflected. Consider such a velocity selector in a mass spectrometer with a 0.125 T magnetic field q) 50% Part (a) What electric field strength, in volts per meter, is needed to select a speed of 41 106 ms? 50% Part (b) What is the voltage, in kilovolts, between the plates if they are separated by 0.75 cm?

Explanation / Answer

B. Voltage,

V= E d

= (Bv)*d

= (4.1*10^6* 0.125)* 0.75*10^-2

= 3843.75 V

Comment in case any doubt..goodluck
