*facepalm*
I had assumed it meant nothing more than that ions were produced and released in series. Thanks for pointing it out, I should be able to handle it from here.
Homework Statement
Ions with mass m and charge q are accelerated through a potential difference V. They then enter a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to their velocity and are deflected in a semicircular path of radius R
What potential difference V is needed so that singly ionized 12C...
