Question
The strengths of the fields in the velocity selector of a Bainbridge mass spectrometer are B=0.500 T and E=1.2×105 V/m. The strength of the magnetic field that seperates the ions is Bo=0.750 T. A stream of single charged Li ions is found to bend in a circular arc of radius 2.32 cm. What is the mass of the Li ions?

Answer:
Explanation:
Given,
Magnetic field, B = 0.5 T
Electric field, E = 1.2 x 10⁵ V/m
strength of the magnetic field that separates the ions, Bo=0.750 T
Radius, r = 2.32 cm
Relation of charge to mass ratio is given by
Substituting all the values
Mass of Li ions is equal to
