This applet simulates a mass spectrometer. Charged particles enter
through an injector that selects their velocity. The electric
charge interacts with the magnetic field to produce a centripetal
force on the particle, keeping its trajectory on a circular path
for as long as it is in the magnetic field. Particles of different
mass wind up at different spots on the edge of the magnetic field.
This simulation makes for good practice at using the right-hand
rule.
