An electron in an electron gun is accelerated from rest by a potential of 25 kV applied over a distance of 1 cm.
The final velocity of the electrons is _____.
The mass of the electron is 9.1x10^(-31) kg and its charge is 1.6x10^(-19) C.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]9.38\times 10^7 m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

We are given that

Potential ,V=25 kV=[tex]25\times 10^3 V[/tex]

Distance,r =1 cm=[tex]\frac{1}{100}=0.01 m[/tex]

1 m=100 cm

Mass of electron, m=[tex]9.1\times 10^{-31} kg[/tex]

Charge, q=[tex]1.6\times 10^{-19} C[/tex]

We have to find the final velocity of the electron.

Speed of electron,[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 25\times 10^3}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}[/tex]

v=[tex]9.38\times 10^7 m/s[/tex]

Hence, the final velocity of the electron=[tex]9.38\times 10^7 m/s[/tex]
