In a mass spectrometer used for measuring the masses of ions, the ions are initially accelerated by an electric potential V and then made to describe semicircular paths of radius R using a magnetic field B. If V and B are kept constant, the ratio ( charge on the ionmass of the ion ) will be proportional to

1. 1/R2
2. R2
3. R
4. 1/R

When a charged particle moving with velocity v is subjected to a magnetic field of induction B, the force on it is non-zero. This implies that

1. angle between v and B is either zero or 180
2. angle between v and B is necessarily 90
3. angle between v and B can have any value other than 90
4. angle between v and B can have any value other than zero and 180
