A beam of ions are sent through a velocity selector (region of uniform electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other, see Fig 11.19 in Ch. 11.7 of your book). How can the velocity selector be adjusted to output faster ions? Select all that apply. Increase the magnitude of the electric field Decrease the magnitude of the electric field Increase the magnitude of the magnetic field Decrease the magnitude of the magnetic field
