Question 5

In an ion-implantation system used in semiconductor manufacturing, a beam of triply-charged aluminum ions (Al3+\text{Al}^{3+}Al3+) is accelerated through a potential difference. A detector records that 1.25 × 1011 of these ions strike a silicon wafer, transferring a total kinetic energy of 1.50 × 10-5 J to the target.

What is the potential difference through which the ions were accelerated?
