A mass spectrometer is constructed as shown in the image below.The ions of mass m and charge q are accelerated by the voltage U =100 V and then fly straight to the detector when the forces fromthe and fieldscompensate each other. The field is0.5 T.
1. Which forces act on positive ions in a vacuum, moving withthe velocity andsimultaneously exposed to an electric field and amagnetic field (names andformulas)?
2. What magnitude must the field havein order to simply detect positively charged Ar atoms with amass kg?
3. What voltage must be appliedto the two horizontal capacitor plates for this purpose if they areat a distance from oneanother and have an area of .
4. How much charge Q is then on each plate?
