Magnetic Force and Circular Motion
The magnetic force is equal to the
centripetal force and thus can be used
to solve for the circular path. Or, if the
radius is known, could be used to
solve for the MASS of the ion. This
could be used to determine the
material of the object.

Mass Spectrometers
Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that identifies the
chemical composition of a compound or sample based on the
mass-to-charge ratio of charged particles. A sample undergoes
chemical fragmentation, thereby forming charged particles (ions).
The ratio of charge to mass of the particles is calculated by
passing them through ELECTRIC and MAGNETIC fields in a
mass spectrometer.

Charges moving in a wire
Up to this point we have focused our attention on
PARTICLES or CHARGES only. The charges could
be moving together in a wire. Thus, if the wire had a
CURRENT (moving charges), it too will experience
a force when placed in a magnetic field.

Example
A 36-m length wire carries a current
of 22A running from right to left.
Calculate the magnitude and
direction of the magnetic force
acting on the wire if it is placed in a
magnetic field with a magnitude of
0.50 x10-4 T and directed up the
page.

WHY does the wire move?
The real question is WHY does the wire move? It is easy to
say the EXTERNAL field moved it. But how can an external
magnetic field FORCE the wire to move in a certain
direction?
THE WIRE ITSELF MUST BE MAGNETIC!!! In other words the wire has its
own INTERNAL MAGNETIC FIELD that is attracted or repulsed by the
EXTERNAL FIELD.
