Mass Spectrometer

A method to measure the mass of an ionized particle.

1. Particle is ionized
2. Particle is accelerated through Electrostatic Force
3. Mass enters a uniform Magnetic Field
4. Radius is used to calculate mass

Formulas

In the case after exiting the electrostatic force accelerator, one can say: $E_k=E_e$ So the initial velocity when entering the magnetic field is: $v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}$
