Ion Velocity Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the Ion Velocity.
Vi = (Z*e*E) / (6*pi*n*r)
- Where Vi is the ion velocity (m/s)
- Z is the magnitude of the charge
- e is the charge of one electron (C)
- E is the strength of the electric field (N/C)
- n is the viscosity of the medium (N*s/m^2)
- r is Stoke’s radius of charged molecules (in,m)
What is an Ion Velocity?
Definition:
An ion velocity is a measure of the average speed of an ion within an electric field.
