Below is a depiction of a mass-spectrometer, the charged particle enters the velocity selector, which as an Electric field (E) and Magnetic Field (B), and then once in the Detector array (with Magnetic Field B0) the charge follows a circular path until it hits the detector array. If an electron is sent thru the selector and hits the array at a radius (r), calculate the Ratio E/B.

The figure below shows a schematic diagram of a mass spectrometer. A charged particle enters a velocity selector, in which a uniform electric field E (created by charged plates) points to the right, and a magnetic field Bin points into the page. Upon exiting the velocity selector, the particle enters a deflection chamber with a magnetic field B→0,in. The particle travels a semicircular path until it hits a photographic plate at point P: Assume the particle is a singly charged ion with mass m = 2.12×10−26 kg. The magnitude of the electric field is 970 V/m, and the magnitude of both the magnetic field in the velocity selector and in the deflection chamber is 0.900 T. What is the radius r (in m) of the particle's path in the deflection chamber? m

J. J. Thomson is best known for his discoveries about the nature of cathode rays. His other important contribution was the invention, together with one of his students, of the mass spectrometer, a device that measures the ratio of mass m to (positive) charge q of an ion. The spectrometer consists of two regions as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) In the first region an electric field accelerates the ion and in the second the ion follows a circular arc in a magnetic field. The radius of curvature of the arc can be measured and then the m/q ratio can be found. Figure 1 of 1 After being accelerated to a speed of 1.69×105 m/s, the particle enters a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.900 T and travels in a circle of radius 35.0 cm (determined by observing where it hits the screen as shown in the figure). The results of this experiment allow one to find m/q. Find the ratio m/q for this particle. Express your answer numerically in kilograms per coulomb. View Available Hint(s)

In the figure below, a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform B-field (in a vacuum) and the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. The particle's kinetic energy and speed remain constant, and the direction of motion and speed are unaffected. Because the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, the charged particle follows a curved path in the magnetic field. And the particle continues to follow this curved path until it forms a complete circle. The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, where the velocity changes in direction and magnitude. The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity and velocity changes in direction not magnitude. In this situation, where a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform B-field (in a vacuum), the magnetic force supplies the centripetal force Fc = mv2 r. The magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, and it does no work on the charged particle. A negatively charged particle moves in the plane of the paper in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular out of the paper.
