Chapter 30, Problem 49PQ
A proton and a helium nucleus (consisting of two protons and two neutrons) pass through a velocity selector and into a mass spectrometer. The radius of the proton’s circular path is rp. Find an expression for the radius r of the helium nucleus’s path in terms of rp. (You may assume the mass of a proton is roughly equal to the mass of a neutron, and the helium nucleus has the same speed as the proton.)

Consider an experimental setup where charged particles (electrons or protons) are first accelerated by an electric field and then injected into a region of constant magnetic field with a field strength of 0.45 T.
1. What is the potential difference, in volts, required in the first part of the experiment to accelerate electrons to a speed of 6.1 × 107 m/s?
2. Find the radius of curvature, in meters, of the path of a proton accelerated through this same potential after the proton crosses into the region with the magnetic field.
3. What is the ratio of the radii of curvature for a proton and an an electron traveling through this apparatus?
For this question, we have to consider an experimental setup where charged particles (electrons or protons) are first accelerated by an electric field and then injected into a region of constant magnetic field with a field strength of 0.55 T. What is the potential difference, in volts, required to accelerate electrons to a speed of 5.8 * 10^(7) ? Also what is the radius of curvature, in meters, of the path of a proton accelerated through this same potential after the proton crosses into the region with the magnetic field?
This is not a graded question
A mass spectrometer is a device that can sort ions based on their mass to charge ratio.
Given the incoming particle is a proton with a horizontal speed of 1.5x108 m/s, and the magnetic field strength is 1.3 T, what would the radius of the proton's path be, in metres?
