You purchase a small single-collector mass spectrometer on e-bay with Nier-type geometry (r = 15.24 cm). You take it home, plug it in and run up a magnetic field of 650 gauss. Now you want to focus ions with a mass of 32, 33 and 34 into your detector. Is the voltage in your house sufficient to achieve your goals (assuming you can regulate the voltage between 0 and maximum in your house)? What if you moved to Britain? Why or why not? If moving to Britain is not an option, what can you do to use the mass spec in US? Show all your calculations clearly.
