MCQ
In Bainbridge mass spectrograph a potential difference of $1000 \mathrm{~V}$ is applied between two plates distant $1 \mathrm{~cm}$ apart and magnetic field in $B=1 T$. The velocity of undeflected positive ions in $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ from the velocity selector is
  • A
    $10^7 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  • B
    $10^4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  • $10^5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  • D
    $10^2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$10^5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
$ v=\frac{E}{B} ; \text { where } E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{1000}{1 \times 10^{-2}}=10^5 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m} $
$ \Rightarrow v=\frac{10^5}{1}=10^5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} .$
