Delve into the mass spectrometer, a crucial tool for understanding particles and their properties. Consisting of a velocity selector and a deflection chamber, it begins with charges entering the crossed fields of magnetic and electric forces. Exploring how these forces affect positive and negative charges, we reveal the velocity selector's role in maintaining constant horizontal velocity. Moving to the deflection chamber, we derive a key equation to determine the mass-to-charge ratio of particles, offering profound insights for scientific discovery. The mass spectrometer stands as a powerful tool, enhancing our understanding of the world. Join us on this enlightening journey! Want Lecture Notes? http://www.flippingphysics.com/mass-s...
