Stage 2 acceleration

Question 1

The 1+ ions formed from either are accelrated using

Answer 1

ionisation method are accelerated using an electric field

They are all accelerated to have the same kinetic energy

This is important for you to remember when completing calculations

Question 2

Since all 1+ ions will have the same kinetic energy, their

Answer 2

velocity will depend on their mass
Lighter ions will move faster and heavier ions will move slower
