J. J. Thomson is best known for his discoveries about the nature of cathode rays. His other important contribution was the invention, together with one of his students, of the mass spectrometer, a device that measures the ratio of mass
m
to (positive) charge
q
of an ion. The spectrometer consists of two regions as shown in the figure.(Figure 1) In the first region an electric field accelerates the ion and in the second the ion follows a circular arc in a magnetic field. The radius of curvature of the arc can be measured and then the
(m)/(q)
ratio can be found. Part A After being accelerated to a speed of
1.73\times 10^(5)(m)/(s)
, the particle enters a uniform magnetic field of strength 1.00 T and travels in a circle of radius 33.0 cm (determined by observing where it hits the screen as shown in the figure). The results of this experiment allow one to find
(m)/(q)
. Find the ratio
(m)/(q)
for this particle. Express your answer numerically in kilograms per coulomb. View Available Hint(s)
(m)/(q)=
k(g)/(C)
