Question

Consider the mass spectrometer shown schematically in the figure below. The magnitude of the electric field between the plates of the velocity selector is 2.10  103 V/m, and the magnetic field in both the velocity selector and the deflection chamber has a magnitude of 0.0300 T. Calculate the radius of the path for a singly charged ion having a mass 

m = 2.20  10-26 kg.
### Mass Spectrometer Description

Consider the mass spectrometer shown schematically in the figure below. The magnitude of the electric field between the plates of the velocity selector is \(2.10 \times 10^3\) V/m, and the magnetic field in both the velocity selector and the deflection chamber has a magnitude of \(0.0300\) T. Calculate the radius of the path for a singly charged ion having a mass \(m = 2.20 \times 10^{-26}\) kg.

**Diagram Explanation:**

- **Velocity Selector:**
  - The velocity selector is composed of two plates, with an electric field (\(\vec{E}\)) directed from the positive plate to the negative plate.
  - The magnetic field (\(\vec{B}_{\text{in}}\)) is directed into the plane of the diagram (denoted by crosses).

- **Deflection Chamber:**
  - After passing through the velocity selector, ions enter the deflection chamber where the magnetic field continues to be directed into the plane.
  - The path of the ions is bent into a circular arc with radius \(r\) due to the magnetic force acting on them.

- **Detector Array:**
  - As the ions traverse through the deflection chamber, they eventually strike a detector, allowing for the measurement of their mass-to-charge ratio.

**Problem:**
Calculate the radius \(r\) of the path for the described ion under the influence of the given electric and magnetic fields.
