A mass spectrometer has an adjustable magnetic field when


A mass spectrometer has an adjustable magnetic field. When themagnetic field is 2.000e-2 T, a singlyionized hydrogen atom (a proton) will strike the detector at aparticular location. Suppose a triply-ionized carbon 12 atom, whosemass is by definition 12 u (where1 u = 1.66×10−27 kg) enters the spectrometer at the same speed as the proton. What is the strength of the magnetic field that will cause it to strike the detector atthe same location as the proton?
