Mass Spectrometer Simulation

Description: The influence of a magnet on the path of ferromagnetic bearings of different masses is shown.  The heaviest bearings are deflected the least. The lightest bearings are deflected the most. Non-ferrous spheres are not deflected at all. This is related to mass spectrometer operation.
