In: Physics
A singly ionized particle (charge =+e) beam of various isotopes moving at various speeds through a region of electric and magnetic fields, with E = 1000 V / m and B = 0.5T .
a) what should be the angle between these crossed fields so that they act like a velocity selector? Draw a picture indicating field directions.
b) Explain clearly how this setup selects a single velocity among many within the beam.
c) Calculate the value of this selected speed.
d)Draw another diagram showing how you would separate the various isotopes (i.e. describe mass spectrometer)
