$A$ mass spectrometer is a device which selects particles of equal mass. An ion with electric charge $q > 0$ and mass $m$ starts at rest from a source $S$ and is accelerated through a potential difference $V$. It passes through a hole into a region of constant magnetic field $\vec B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper as shown in the figure. The particle is deflected by the magnetic field and emerges through the bottom hole at a distance $d$ from the top hole. The mass of the particle is:

  • A
    $\frac{qBd}{mV}$
  • B
    $\frac{qB^2d^2}{4V}$
  • C
    $\frac{qB^2d^2}{8V}$
  • D
    $\frac{qBd}{2mV}$
