Motion of a Point Charge in a Magnetic ield Period of Circular Motion The period of the motion is or, the angular frequency 10/3/16 9 10/3/16 10 Mass Spectrometer Ions of different masses can hae the same charge q and the same elocity. If we shoot them to a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly, question: The circular trajectories followed by the ions once they enter the field would show: a) The same radii (the radius has to remain the same) b) Different radii (the radius of the trajectories depend on the mass) c) One cannot tell (we need more information to decide) Mass Spectrometer (Ions with same KE) The purpose of a mass spectrometer is to separate ions by mass and measure the mass of each type of ion. If positie ions start from rest and moe through a potential difference, V, the ions kinetic energy when they enter the magnetic field equals their loss in potential energy: What kind of charge do the ions in the picture hae? 10/3/16 11 10/3/16 12 3
Mass Spectrometer (Ions with same KE) Working with both equations : irst sole for the elocity on the first one, Then substitute it on the kinetic energy equation A mass spectrometer can be improed if instead of haing ions with the same kinetic energy entering the field we hae ions with the same elocity. 10/3/16 13 Combine an Electric ield and a Magnetic ield If we shoot charged particles into a region of space that has both an electric and a magnetic field, we would end up with a net electro-magnetic force that is equal to the ector sum of the electric and magnetic forces acting on the charge: = E + = qe + q A ery interesting effect can be achieed when we apply an electric and a magnetic force to a charged particle in such a way that these forces balance. = E + = 0 10/3/16 14 Crossed E and ields Crossed E and ields Question: In which direction is the magnetic force, once the positie charge reaches the region with the field? a) Up b) Down c) into the page Question: If we would like to balance this magnetic force with an electric force, we would hae to apply an electric field in which direction? a) Up b) Down c) into the page 10/3/16 15 This deice is called a Velocity Selector.
