**Mass Spectrometer Explanation**

The image illustrates a mass spectrometer, an analytical instrument used to identify various molecules in a sample by measuring their charge-to-mass ratio \( q/m \). The sample is ionized, and the positive ions are accelerated (starting from rest) through a potential difference \( \Delta V \). They then enter a region of uniform magnetic field. The field bends the ions into circular trajectories, but after just half a circle, they either strike the wall or pass through a small opening to a detector. As the accelerating voltage is gradually increased, different ions reach the detector and are measured. Consider a mass spectrometer with a 200.00 mT magnetic field and an 8.0000 cm spacing between the entrance and exit holes.

**Diagram Description**

The figure shows the trajectory of ions in the mass spectrometer. Ions are accelerated by a potential difference \( \Delta V \) and then bent into circular paths by a magnetic field. The path includes a section marked as \( d \), which leads to the detector positioned at the end of the trajectory.

**Part B**

What accelerating potential difference \( \Delta V \) is required to detect \( N_2^+ \)?

_Express your answer to five significant figures and include the appropriate units._

\[
\Delta V_{N_2^+} = \boxed{\text{Value}} \text{ Units}
\]

**Part C**

Although \( N_2^+ \) and \( CO^+ \) both have a nominal molecular mass of 28, they are easily distinguished by virtue of their slightly different accelerating voltages. What accelerating potential difference \( \Delta V \) is required to detect \( CO^+ \)?

_Express your answer to five significant figures and include the appropriate units._

\[
\Delta V_{CO^+} = \boxed{\text{Value}} \text{ Units}
\]

Step 1

When the electron enters the magnetic field, the magnetic force is equal to the centripetal force.

FM=FCqvB=mv2rv=qBrm

Apply the work-energy theorem and substitute the required expression for the velocity to obtain the expression for the potential difference.

W=ΔKEq(ΔV)=12mvf212mvi2q(ΔV)=12m(qBrm)212m(0)2ΔV=qB2r22m
