A singly ionized Nickel atom has an overall charge of +1.602 x 10-19 C and a mass, m = 9.80 x 10-26 kg. It travels to the right with speed v entering a velocity selector and then a deflection chamber. In both the velocity selector and deflection chamber the uniform magnetic field is 0.50-T directed outward. a) If the radius of this particle’s curved path within the deflection chamber is measured to be 1.30 x 10-2 m, what was the speed of this particle? b)What must the electric field magnitude and direction within the velocity selector be? c) A particle of unknown mass enters the same deflection chamber with the same charge and velocity as the nickel atom. If the radius of its curved path in the deflection chamber is measured to be 1.50 x 10-2 m, what is its mass?
