Question:

Suppose some ²³⁵U⁺ ions are present in the beam. They have the same charge as the 238U+ ions but a smaller mass (approximately 0.987 37m).

(a) With what speed do the ²³⁵U⁺ ions emerge from the accelerating plates, assuming ²³⁸U⁺ ions emerge with speed v?

(b) Sketch the trajectory of ²³⁵U⁺ ions inside the velocity selector.

(c) Now the velocity selector is removed. ²³⁸U⁺ ions move in a circular path of diameter D in the uniform magnetic field. What is the diameter of the path of the ²³⁵U⁺ ions?
