Yes, it would work as long as the electric field is homogenous, meaning, the value and direction of the electric field is the same everywhere where the ion is embedded. If there is inhomogeneity, then electron cloud and ion core may be pulled differently. If electric field is very strong, then...

Another way is to go continuous, using the gamma function. $$n!= Γ(n+1)$$ the gamma function is known to grow very fast. So we can assume that at some value of x the factorial will be above any polynomial. You can try to solve the equation numerically, $$ Γ(x+1) = x^2+1 $$ Using python scipy...

None of the Zeno's paradox is in fact a paradox. He simply created infinite series from simple situations, but the mathematics about limits was evolved enough to solve the problems he had created.

According to quantum mechanics, the absorption process is instantaneous. Introductory quantum mechanics textbooks describe it as a perturbation in the electric potential that is oscillating. Then the transition probabilities are derived. The process is understood to be instantaneous as 'middle'...

That is an RS flip-flop. Not a JK. JK is based on RS but with much more lines. You probably need to set initial output values in order to simulate, if the simulator supports it. If R=1 and S=1, the result would be undetermined, and flipping between 0 and 1.

I found the answer to this. The total energy of the ion does increase while traveling within electrodes plates/cylinder. In fact particle accelerators such as Linear Particle Accelerator (linac) work using this principle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_particle_accelerator

It seems that there has been some confusion. I attach a sketch of the problem. I change the notation slightly so that T = Kinetic energy The electric field between the plates (probably is best assuming it's a cylinder) is constant. I suppose the only explanation for the increase in energy is...

Consider the scenario Two parallel plates One ion particle (mass 1, charge +1) traveling parallel to the plates through the middle. Voltage of the plates is the same. As the ion travels between the plates the voltage on the plates ramps up, and the electric field between the plates remains...
