The aurora borealis can sometimes be visible in St. Paul. The aurora is caused when
electrons and protons, moving in earth’s magnetic field of 5 X 10-5 T collide with molecules of the
atmosphere and cause them to glow. What is the circular radius for
A) electron with a speed of 1.1 X 106 m/s
B) same speed but now a proton

A mass spectrometer is used to determine the mass of the ions in a sample. Once the mass of the ions are known one can determine what molecular composition of the sample. The Behrend chemistry department has several mass spectrometers. A new singly charged ion (the sign of the charge is unknown but we know it is either te or-e) enters a velocity selector as shown with crossed electric and magnetic fields of magnitude E and B. Only ions with the selected speed then leave through the right hole and enter a region with the same magnetic field B but no electric field. The magnetic force then causes the charges to move in a semi-circular path of radius r as shown. By measuring r one can determine the mass of the ions. a.
