Question

8.) Please refer to the diagram on page 41 of your course packet for the remaining questions.  It's a sketch of the Bainbridge mass spectrometer, used to identify the masses of atomic isotopes.

The velocity selector inside the central rectangle has a magnetic field pointing out of the paper with a field strength, B, of 0.380 T and an electric field of strength, E, of 122,000 N/C.  With what speed will ions pass through the slit S2?  Express you answer in exponential notation in m/s.

9.) A velocity selector, as in the previous question, works to select ions of a particular speed because 

A.)  

the electric and magnetic fields both depend on the speed of the ions.

B.)  

neither the electric nor the magnetic fields depend on the speed of the ions.

C.)  

the magnetic force on an ion depends on its speed, but the electric force does not.

D.)  

the electric force on an ion depends on its speed, but the magnetic force does not.
