(a)

Answer to Problem 94P
The sign of the charge of the ions is
Explanation of Solution
The right hand rule states that in the case of a cross product, if the index finger of the right hand points in the direction of the first vector and the second vector points in the direction of the thumb, then the cross product will point in the direction of the thumb. Magnetic Lorentz force on a moving charge is the product of the charge and the cross product of the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field.
Right hand rule for the Lorentz force can be described as if the index finger of the right hand points in the direction of velocity of charge, the middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field, then the thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic force. In the given diagram, the velocity is directed to right, the magnetic field is directed into the page and the force is directed upward. This implies the ion is positive.
(b)
The accelerating plate which is positively charged.
(b)

Answer to Problem 94P
The positively charged accelerating plate is
Explanation of Solution
In part (a), it is found that the ions are positively charged. Positive ions will be attracted by negatively charged plates and will be repelled by positively charged plates. In the given diagram, the ions are accelerated towards the right.
Since the ions are accelerated towards right, the east plate must be negatively charged. This implies the other accelerating plate must be positively charged. Thus the west plate is positively charged.
(c)
The deflection plate which is positively charged.
(c)

Answer to Problem 94P
The positively charged deflection plate is
Explanation of Solution
Right hand rule for the Lorentz force can be described as if the index finger of the right hand points in the direction of velocity of charge, the middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field, then the thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic force. In a mass spectrometer, the correct velocity is selected by making the net force which is the sum of electric and magnetic force on the charge to be zero.
According to the right hand rule, the magnetic force on the positively charged ions is northward between the deflecting plates. To make the net force zero to select the correct velocity, the electric field must be southward. Since electric field points from positive plate to the negative plate, the north plate must be positively charged.
