Question

3. When a magnetic sector instrument was operated with an accelerating voltage of 4.50*103 V, a field of 0.251 T was required to focus the CH4 on the detector. a) What range of field strengths would be required to scan the mass range between 12.5 and 2.50*102 , for singly charged ion, if the accelerating voltage is held constant

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "$4,500 - 225 \ V$".

Explanation:

Using formula for calculating the Voltage:

$M_1=12.5\\\\M_2=250\\\\V_1=4,500 \\\\\bold{\text{Formula: }}\\\\\to \bold{\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{V_2}{V_1}}\\\\\to \frac{12.5}{250}=\frac{V_2}{4,500}\\\\\to 0.05=\frac{v_2}{4,500}\\\\\to 0.05\times 4,500= V_2\\\\\to V_2=225$

Hence the range of accelerating in voltage is $4,500 - 225 \ V$
