Question
A mass spectrometer is used to examine the isotopes of uranium. Ions in the beam emerge from the velocity selector at a speed of 1.60x105 m/s and enter a uniform magnetic field of 0.6 T directed perpendicularly to the velocity of the ions. (c) What is the distance between the impact points formed on the photographic plate by singly charged ions of 235U and 238U?

Magnets direct the protons around and around until they travel outwards far enough to leave the magnetic field. The protons reach a final speed of 1.1×108 m/s when they leave the cyclotron. Suppose inside the cyclotron there is a uniform magnetic field downwards, with strength 0.4 T. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force, in piconewtons, on the proton at the moment it leaves the cyclotron? Assume the proton is travelling eastwards when that happens. Answer in piconewtons. Also state what direction was the force on the proton the moment it left the magnetic field. Be clear and show all your work.arrow_forward
