In a mass spectrometer, a specific velocity can be selected from a distribution by injecting charged particles between a set of plates with a constant electric field between them and a magnetic field across them (perpendicular to the direction of particle travel). If the fields are tuned exactly right, only particles of a specific velocity will pass through this region undeflected. Consider such a velocity selector in a mass spectrometer with a 0.105 T magnetic field.

a) What electric field strength, in volts per meter, is needed to select a speed of 3.8 x 106 m/s?

b) What is the voltage, in kilovolts, between the plates if they are separated by 0.75 cm?

Figure P19.14a is a diagram of a device called a velocity selector, in which particles of a specific velocity pass through undeflected while those with greater or lesser velocities are deflected either upwards or downwards. An electric field is directed perpendicular to a magnetic field, producing an electric force and a magnetic force on the charged particle that can be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction (Fig. P19.14b) and hence cancel. Show that particles with a speed of  will pass through the velocity selector undeflected.
