When a magnetic sector instrument was operated with an accelerating voltage of 2500 V, a magnetic field of 0.4 Tesla was required to focus the CH4 + on the detector.
(a) What range of magnetic field strength would be required to cover the mass range between 16 and 625, for singly charged ions, if the accelerating voltage is held constant?
(b) What range of accelerating voltages would be required to cover the mass range between 16 and 625, for singly charged ions, if the field strength is held constant?
