6. You are given some isotopes of a certain element. The isotopes are ionized so that they can carry the same charge Q, and enter a speed selector as shown in the diagram below. Only those isotopes with a definite speed can pass straight through the mutually perpendicular uniform electric and magnetic fields in the speed selector. The whole set-up is in a vacuum environment.

(i) Explain how the speed selector works.

[2]

In the speed selector, the electrostatic force and the magnetic force acting the charged particle are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. (1) Therefore the resultant force is zero, thus the charge will move in a straight line. (1) Or qE = Bqv F=0 or (1) FE = FB (1)

(ii) Describe and explain how the isotopes can be distinguished experimentally by directing the emerging beam of ionized isotopes into a uniform magnetic field.

14. (a) Potassium-40 is a radioactive isotope of potassium which is present in human body. 40 The main decay mode is for 19 K to decay by the emission of a beta particle to produce
40 the stable product of 20 Ca . Write an equation for this radioactive decay process.
