    With what speed does the ion enter the magnetic field in a mass spectrometer?

    I was working around with it and the only problem I have is finding out the velocity in the end What I mean is v=? ΔV=120 V β=0.17 T q=3.08...x10^-19 C m=2.32 x10^-26 kg v'=? ΔE = qΔV ΔE = (3.08...x10^-19 C)(120 V) ΔE = 3.696...x10^-17 J So I know that there was a potential energy of...

    Is it maybe that Ek + Ee = Ek' + Ee' I don't see how potential energy would play role since it's not changing height.

    With what speed does the ion enter the magnetic field in a mass spectrometer?

    I used the equation m=qβ^2R^2 / 2ΔV q=m2ΔV / β^2R^2 q=(2.32 x10^-26kg)(2)(120V) / (0.17T^2)(0.025m^2) q=3.08...x10^-19 C Is that right?

    With what speed does the ion enter the magnetic field in a mass spectrometer?

    Some of the information was used to solve for the charge so some of the given is not necessary. I'm pretty sure you need the charge to figure this one out.

    With what speed does the ion enter the magnetic field in a mass spectrometer?

    Homework Statement A mass spectrometer has a potential difference of 120 V applied to its accelerator plates. It is accelerating a positively charged ion that has a mass of 2.32 x 10^-26 kg. the ion then is directed into a uniform magnetic field of 0.17 T. The magnetic field is perpendicular...
