Question
In a mass spectrometer, a singly ionized 24Mg ion has a mass equal to 3.983 10-26 kg and is accelerated through a 3.00-kV potential difference. It then enters a region where it is deflected by a magnetic field of 526 G. Find the radius of curvature of the ion’s orbit. Note: There are 10,000 G in 1 T and 1,000 V in 1 kV.

Answer:
The radius of curvature of the ion’s orbit is 0.59 meters
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the 24 Mg ion,
Potential difference, V = 3 kV
Magnetic field, B = 526 G
Charge on single ionized ion,
The radius of the the path traveled by the charge is circular. Its radius is given by :
v is speed of particle.
v can be calculated using conservation of energy as :
Radius,
So, the radius of curvature of the ion’s orbit is 0.59 meters.
