Concept explainers
DATA You are using a type of mass spectrometer to measure charge-to-mass ratios of atomic ions. In the device, atoms are ionized with a beam of electrons to produce positive ions, which are then accelerated through a potential difference V. (The final speed of the ions is great enough that you can ignore their initial speed.) The ions then enter a region in which a uniform magnetic field
(a) How can you plot the data points so that they will fall close to a straight line? Explain. (b) Construct the graph described in part (a). Use the slope of the best-fit straight line to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio (q/m) for the ion. (c) For V = 20.0 kV, what is the speed of the ions as they enter the

(a) If the particle is deflected initially to the north in a circular arc, is its charge positive or negative?
