To study systems with large mass-to-charge ratios or systems that have very complicated isotope patterns, we need a spectrometer with the ability to accurately determine masses so we can be sure we are studying the right ion. For this we use a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer(FT-ICR MS). In this technique, the mass-to-charge ratio(m/z) of an ion can be experimentally determined by measuring the frequency at which the ion processes in a magnetic field. 1, record 1, English, - Fourier%20transform%20ion%20cyclotron%20resonance%20mass%20spectrometer

The theorem that the voltage across an element that is connected to two terminals of a linear network is equal to the short-circuit current between these terminals in the absence of the element, divided by the sum of the admittances between the terminals associated with the element and the network respectively. 2, record 2, English, - Norton%27s%20theorem

Norton's theorem states that a second equivalent network consists of a current source I(s) in parallel with an impedance Z(s). The impedance Z(s) is identical with the Thévenin impedance, and I(s) is the Laplace transform of the current between the two terminals when they are short-circuited. 3, record 2, English, - Norton%27s%20theorem
