The mass spectrometer is used to measure the mass of an ion. The initially stationary ion is accelerated by the electric field due to a potential difference P'and a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the path of the ion. A wide detector lines the bottom wall of the chamber, and the causes the lon to move in a semicircle and thus strike the detector. Suppose that B 80.0 mT, V 1000.0 V, and ions of charge 4 +1.6 x 10 C strike the detector at a point that lies at x = 1.6254 m. What is the mass m of the individual ions, in atomic mass units (1 u 1.6605 x 10 kg)?
