Mass Spectrometer

The video tutorial explains the workings of a mass spectrometer, focusing on its two main components: the velocity selector and the deflection chamber. It details how charged particles are influenced by electric and magnetic fields, using the right-hand rule to determine force directions. The tutorial also covers the conditions for particles to pass through the velocity selector and how they move in circular paths within the deflection chamber. Finally, it discusses how the mass spectrometer determines the mass-to-charge ratio of particles, highlighting its importance in physics and potential applications in discovering new particles.
