Calculate the force experienced by an oil droplet with a charge of 3.2 1019 C due to a
uniform electric field of strength 5.0 105 V m1.

The diagram shows two parallel, horizontal plates separated by a vertical distance of 3.0 cm.
The potential difference between the plates is 600 V.

a Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field between the plates.
b Describe the electric field between the plates.
c A charged oil droplet of weight 6.4 1015 N is held stationary between the two plates.
State whether the charge on the droplet is positive or negative.
Explain your answer.
ii Determine the charge on the oil droplet.

The diagram shows a velocity-selector for charged ions. Ions of speed v emerge from the slit.

The parallel plates have a separation of 2.4 cm and are connected to a 5.0 kV supply.
A magnetic field is applied at right angles to the electric field between the plates such
that the positively charged ions emerge from the slit of the velocity-selector at a speed of
6.0 106 m s1. Calculate the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field.

b Ions from the velocity-selector pass into a mass spectrometer which contains another magnetic
field, of flux density B. The ions all have charge Q but either have mass m1 or mass m2. Show
that the difference in the radius of the two isotopes in the magnetic field is given by:
(m1 m 2 )v
