Acceleration of Uranium 238 ion through a potential difference

[QUOTE="willem2, post: 6848584, member: 200209"] The question doesn't specify the sign of the potential difference at all. However, if the positive uranium ion started next to the negative electrode, it would stick to it, and not be accelerated, whereas if it started next to the positive electrode, it would be repelled by it and accelerated towards the negative electrode. Since the question [B]does [/B]specify that the ion is accelerated, we can conclude that it started next to the positive electrode. You can also ignore the sign of the potential difference, and compute the amount of kinetic energy it gained from it, wich must be positive, since the ion was accelerated. [/QUOTE]
