In Thomson's mass spectrographs, when an electric field of 2×104 V m-1 is applied then the deflection produced on the screen is 20 mm. If the length of the plates is 5 cm and the distance of the screen from plates is 21 cm and the velocity of positive ions is 106 m s-1, then their specific charge will be:
