Answer:
vm/B•q
Explanation:
The charge to mass ratio of any given particle, can be determined by using the formula
q/m = E/BB•R,
From the aforelisted formula,
Both E and B are the fields in the velocity selector.
B• is the magnetic field used to separate particles
R is the radius of the path of the particle.
Now, we rearrange by making R the subject of the formula, so that
R = Em/BB•q
In trying to find the velocity of the particles coming out of the velocity selector, we realize that
v = E/B, and when we substitute for this in the previous equation, we have
R = vm/B•q
