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
