Question: Current Attempt in Progress A certain commercial mass spectrometer is used to separate uranium ions of mass 3 . 9 2 1 0 - 2

Current Attempt in Progress
A certain commercial mass spectrometer is used to separate uranium ions of mass 3.9210-25kg and charge 3.2010-19C from related species. The ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 112 kV and then pass into a uniform magnetic field, where they are bent in a path of radius 0.795 m . After traveling through 180 and passing through a slit of width 0.914 mm and height 1.30 cm , they are collected in a cup. (a) What is the magnitude of the (perpendicular) magnetic field in the separator? If the machine is used to separate out 0.804 mg of material per hour, calculate (b) the current of the desired ions in the machine and (c) the thermal energy produced in the cup in 1.28 h .
(a) Number Units
(b) Number 1 Units
(c) Number Units
