Question
A physicist builds an apparatus to measure the charge to mass ratio of ions. An ion is first accelerated to a speed of 6.50 ✕ 107 m/s. It then passes through a region of magnetic field, with a magnitude of 4.09 ✕ 10−2 T, perpendicular to the ion's velocity. Because the ion is moving so fast, it is only in the presence of the magnetic field for 2.00 ✕ 10−7 s. Upon exiting the magnetic field, the scientist measures that the ion was deflected a distance of 3.00 cm in a direction perpendicular to its initial velocity.
