    How Does Magnetic Field Strength Affect Ion Trajectory in a Mass Spectrometer?

    A mass spectrometer, sketched below, is a device used to separate different ions. Such ions with a well-defined velocity Vo enter through a slit into a region of uniform magnetic field B, where they follow a semicircular path until they strike the detector slit above the entry slit. The distance...
