measuring their chargetomass ratio The sample is ionized, the positive ions are accelerated starting from rest
through a potential difference and they then enter a region of uniform magnetic field. The field bends the ions into circular trajectories, but after just half a circle they either strike the wall or pass through a small opening to a detector. As
the accelerating voltage is slowly increased, different ions reach the detector and are measured. Consider a mass
spectrometer with a magnetic field and an spacing between the entrance and exit holes.
