A mass spectrometer has an adjustable magnetic field when


A mass spectrometer has an adjustable magnetic field. When themagnetic field is 1.000e-1 T, a singly ionizedhydrogen atom (a proton) will strike the detector at a particular location. Suppose a triply-ionized carbon 12 atom, whose mass is bydefinition 12 u (where1 u = 1.66×10−27 kg) enters thespectrometer at the same speed as the proton. What is the strengthof the magnetic field that will cause it to strike the detector at the same location as the proton?
