A Muse...
If a powerful enough electromagnet is used, would it be possible to separate ions in a solution, such as they would be in electrolysis???
Is this possible? Or have I given my mind to troll science.

Make a simple experiment using electromagnets and some different salt solutions.
U.T.F.S.E. and learn the joys of autodidacticism!
Don't judge each day only by the harvest you reap, but also by the seeds you sow.

Charged particles such as gas ions orbit within an applied
magnetic field. Say this is the direction N => S , then
negative charged species will orbit counterclockwise
viewing from the north in the direction of south , and
positive charged species orbit clockwise. This is how
a cyclotron and ion traps work. Separation of charged
particles using magnets has some industrial applications.
Particles however do not retain charge once contacting
the container surface. Capacitors store charge by
polarization meaning that molecules become stretched
in the direction of the applied electric field , there is no
separation into ions. A static magnetic field as applied
by a permanent magnet produces no electric effect
as you seem to imply in your drawing.

Thank you for that reference, I somehow missed that thread.

Here is a minor mathematical riddle for you.
x= 1 x (2 - 3) - 7 x 2 + 0 + (9 x 2 + 7) - 1 + 3 x 3 + 0

I'm losing weekends already, watson!
I draw the 'line', though, at purloined 'women's things' . . .
Calculations? I'm just waaay too lazy, but thanks!

negative particles orbit CLOCKWISE

suprised no one caught the switch
