An ion traveling through four sequential parallel conducting grids.
An ion traveling through four sequential parallel conducting grids.
An ion moves along a straight line through four sequential parallel conducting grids labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4 in an evacuated chamber where non-electrostatic forces are negligible. The table shows the electric potential \(V\) of each grid, the electric potential energy \(U_E\) of the ion-grid system, and the kinetic energy \(K\) of the ion as it passes through each grid.

GridElectric Potential (\(V\))Electric Potential Energy (\(U_E\))Kinetic Energy (\(K\))
1\(+50\text{ V}\)\(-100\text{ eV}\)\(150\text{ eV}\)
2\(+10\text{ V}\)—\(K_2\)
3\(V_3\)—\(110\text{ eV}\)
4\(-20\text{ V}\)—\(K_4\)

Which of the following correctly identifies the values of \(K_2\), \(V_3\), and \(K_4\)?
