Mass spectrometers are commonly used in chemistry to determine the particular elemental makeup of
ions/molecules. They use magnetic fields to do the sorting of ions. The device consists of a velocity
selector chamber that has crossed electric and magnetic fields (E is oriented from right to left, B is
coming out of the page in the image above). The velocity selector allows particles with a certain speed
to pass through, while all other particles will deflect and not make it through. Once passed through the
velocity selector, the ions enter the detection chamber, where they enter a region of constant magnetic
field and their paths are deflected in a semi-circle until they hit the detector plate. The radius of the
path determines where the particle hits the plate.
