An electron that has velocity =(m/s)+ (3.0m/s)moves through the uniform magnetic field = .(a)Find the force on the electron due to the magnetic field. (b)Repeat your calculation for a proton having the same velocity.
Bainbridge’s mass spectrometer, shown in Fig. 28-54, separates ions having the same velocity. The ions, after entering through slits, S1and S2, pass through a velocity selector composed of an electric field produced by the charged plates Pand P', and a magnetic field perpendicular to the electric field and the ion path. The ions that then pass undeviated through the crossedand fields enter into a region where a second magnetic field exists, where they are made to follow circular paths. A photographic plate (or a modern detector) registers their arrival. Show that, for the ions, q/m=E/rBB,where ris the radius of the circular orbit.
