In figure (a), two concentric coils, lying in the same plane, carry currents in opposite directions. The current in the larger coil 1 is fixed. Current i2 in coil 2 can be varied. Figure (b) gives the net magnetic moment of the two-coil system as a function of i2. The vertical axis scale is set by, μnets =2.0×10-5 A m2 and the horizontal axis scale is set by, i2s=20.0 mA.

A mass spectrometer (fig.) is used to separate uranium ions of mass 3.92×10-25 kg and charge 3.20×10-19C from related species. The ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 180 kV and then pass into a uniform magnetic field, where they are bent in a path of radius 1.00 m. After traveling through 180° and passing through a slit of width 1.00 mm and height 1.00 cm, they are collected in a cup.
