Singly-ionized particles with mass, m = 3.34 x 10-27 kg, are produced by an ion source and accelerated from rest to speed, v, by an applied voltage, Vapp = 245 V. The ions are focused into a tight beam and shot through a uniform magnetic field, B= 2.57 mT, at a target that's a distance, d = 47.5 cm, away as shown in the figure. The beam bends along a circular path as it travels through the magnetic field so that, the ions hit the target a distance, Ax, to the right of the straight line path (dashed line) as shown.
