A certain commercial mass spectrometer is used to separate uranium ions of mass 3.92 multiplied by 10-25 kg and charge 3.20 multiplied by 10-19 C from related species. The ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 110 kV and then pass into a uniform magnetic field, where they are bent in a path of radius 0.80 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.


(b) If the machine is used to separate out 200 mg of material per hour, calculate the current of the desired ions in the machine.
