Question 37
Medium

In an experiment to measure the specific charge (the ratio of charge to mass, qm\displaystyle \frac{q}{m}mq​) of an ion, the ion starts from rest and is accelerated through a potential difference VVV. It then enters a region of uniform magnetic field of flux density B B\,B at right angles to its direction of travel, where it moves in a circular path of radius rrr.

Schematic of the experiment

Which of the following sets of quantities is sufficient to determine the specific charge of this ion?

V,BV, BV,B and rrr

q,Bq, Bq,B and rrr

V,mV, mV,m and rrr

V,BV, BV,B and qqq
