Two ions with masses of 5.29×10−27 kg move out of the slit of a mass spectrometer and into a region where the magnetic field is 0.283 t. each has a speed of 1.13 × 106 m/s, but one ion is singly charged and the other is doubly charged. find the radius of the circular path followed by the singly charged ion in the field

0.132 m

Explanation:

= mass of the ion = 5.29 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

= magnitude of charge on singly charged ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

= radius of circular path followed by singly charged ion

= speed of the ion = 1.13 x 10⁶ m/s

= magnitude of the magnetic field = 0.283 T

Radius of the circular path is given as

= 0.132 m

an ion is a charged atom or molecule. it is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. an atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom.

i think the answer would be b
