In a mass spectrometer used for measuring the masses of ions, the ions are initially accelerated by an electric potential $V$ and then made to describe semicircular paths of radius $R$ using a magnetic field $B$. If $V$ and $B$ are kept constant, the ratio $\left( {\frac{{{\text{charge on the ion}}}}{{{\text{mass of the ion}}}}} \right)$ will be proportional to

A rectangular region $A B C D$ contains a uniform magnetic field $B_0$ directed perpendicular to the plane of the rectangle. A narrow stream of charged particles moving perpendicularly to the side $AB$ enters this region and is ejected through the adjacent side $B C$ suffering a deflection through $30^{\circ}$. In order to increase this deflection to $60^{\circ}$, the magnetic field has to be
