Question

What is the principle and working of ion thrust​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\bold\purple{\boxed{Answer}}$

An ion thruster or ion drive is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. It creates thrust by accelerating ions using electricity. An ion thruster ionizes a neutral gas by extracting some electrons out of atoms, creating a cloud of positive ions.

⟶ Principle :-

An ion thruster or ion drive is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. It creates thrust by accelerating ions using electricity. An ion thruster ionizes a neutral gas by extracting some electrons out of atoms, creating a cloud of positive ions.

⟶ Working :-

• A thruster works by ejecting particles of gas at high velocities out a rear nozzle.
• Then, due to Newton's Third Law of Motion, this propels the craft forward.
• Technically, the engine is “thrusting from” its fuel.
