What deflects the ions?

In a mass spectrometer, the magnetic field is used to deflect ions.


Magnetic field compare with the direction that moving charges are forced?

Particles move with and across magnetic fields: F= evb = -ev.B + evxB = -evBcos(VB) + evBsin(vB). Currently scientists ignore the scalar force f= -ev.B this is the cause of trapped ions in the Earth's magnetosphere.


Why do atoms need to be ionised in a mass spectrometer?

it is necessary to ionize the compouned or element used in the expirement because ONLY electrically charged particles (IONS) are affected by the magnetic field . (i.e : only ions are deflected by the magnetic field )Hope that this was helpful !!


If a variety of singly ionized atoms travel at the same speed through the magnetic field would you expect them all to be deflected by the same amount?

No, the deflection of ions in a magnetic field depends on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) rather than their speed. Heavier ions with larger mass-to-charge ratios will be deflected less than lighter ions with smaller mass-to-charge ratios. Therefore, ions traveling at the same speed but having different mass-to-charge ratios will be deflected by different amounts in the magnetic field.


How is plasma confined in a tokamak?

Plasma is highly ionized atoms. This results in extremely energetic ions, and these ions carry an electrostatic charge. The tokamak is a container with magnetic fields for boundaries. The plasma is a moving group of electrostatic charges, and moving charges create magnetic fields. The magnetic field thus created interacts with the magnetic field set up in the tokamak to deflect and thus confine the charged plasma.


Why can't electricity pass threw a magnetic field?

An electric current has no trouble at all passing through a magnetic field, however it is deflected. This is how the old CRT picture tubes that used to be used in TVs and computer monitors operated. In space electric currents deflected by magnetic fields actually follow helical paths along the lines of magnetic flux.


Sunpots and magnetic storms are common Why?

the sun's magnetic field is responsible for sun spots and "space weather". the sun is a ball of plasma, a gas comprised of ions and electrons rather than neutral atoms. because ions and electrons have charge, they attach themselves to magnetic field lines. the sun rotates, so the material in the sun is in motion, however the equator and poles rotate at different speeds. this causes the magnetic field (which is locked into the material) to twist and contort, occasionally snapping and rebounding manifesting as solar flares, sunspots, and various other phenomena.


Can animals detect magnetism?

No animal really "detects" magnetism, however animals do use magnetism such as: Pigeon's. little Ions in their brains' line up with the Earth's Magnetic field (EM Field).


Would it be good to visit a planet with a magnetic field?

We are already on a planet with a magnetic field and yes magnetic fields are what protect the planet from various dangers. Not to mention nearly every planet we have seen has a magnetic field (save venus). It is believed that the magnetic fields of planets save them from solar winds which would otherwise slowly strip the atmospheres of planets by taking out chunks of atoms every time they hit. Mars has an extremely weak (or none according to many scientists) magnetic field and as such the solar winds bash into it and scoop out ions from the planet. Overall conclusion: Yes, you want to visit a planet with a strong magnetic field, it's basically more protection (in theory at least).


Is the earth's core a possible source of magnetism?

yes the molten metals in the core generally produce ions.. when this liquid metal ions flows in the core the constitute sort of current... we know current generates magnetic field.. its the reason for earth magnetism........ you also might heard about the magnetic poles shifting... answer is the same


Does Mars give off a magnetic force?

Earth abounds with water because its ionosphere is permeated with a magnetic field. The hydrogen ions present in its ionosphere move very fast due to their small mass, but they cannot escape to outer space because their trajectories are deflected by the magnetic field. Venus has a dense atmosphere, but only traces of water vapor (20 ppm) because it has no magnetic field. The Martian atmosphere also loses water to space.


What is the idea behind polywell?

A polywell is a device that is used to electrical field work on ions, heating them to fusion conditions. It is a fusion reactor that uses a magnetic confinement to trap electrons.
