particles. What type or types of fields are employed, and what characteristics do these particles need
to have in order to be separated?

Magnetic fields are applied. Particles need to lack charge.
Both electric and magnetic fields are applied. Particles need to have the same mass.
Both electric and magnetic fields are applied. Particles need to be charged.
Electric fields are applied. Particles need to come from the same type of atom

Answer 1
