Question
Problem 4
=
The figure below shows a mass spectrometer, a device used to measure the masses of ions.
Consider a positive ion of unknown mass m and charge q 4.8 x 10-19 C. The ion is first
accelerated from rest through a potential difference AV inside a source. After leaving the source,
it travels rightward at constant speed and enters a region of uniform magnetic field B 3.5 T
directed out of the page. The ion then moves in a semicircle of radius r within the field, striking
a plate at a vertical distance x = 12 m below its point of entry. Ignore the effect of gravity.

Find the potential difference AV (with correct magnitude and sign) through which the ion
is accelerated if it attains a kinetic energy of 6.0 x 10-16 J upon leaving the source.
Suppose it is desired that the ion travel through the magnetic-field region without being
deflected (i.e., at constant speed along a straight line). In addition to the magnetic field,
there would need to be an electric field in this region. What is the required direction of the
electric field? Justify your answer clearly.
