The two-line shown are for the isotopes of 70Ge and 76Ge. Singly charged germanium ions are accelerated from rest between plates X and Y. They then pass through crossed magnetic and electric fields in the region between plates A and B. Finally, they enter the D-chamber at point § and strike the photographic plate P. The magnetic field in region A- B and the D-chamber is a uniform B = 0.500. The masses of the 70Ge and 76Ge ions are 1.17 x10 kg and 1.27 x10 kg respectively, and are both travelling at 2.00 x 10° m/s when they ‘enter the D-chamber. {a) [2] Which of plates A and Bis at the higher potential?
