An electron is accelerated in an electric field of 1.90 106 V/m.
(a) What is the work done on the electron over 0.590 m?(b) How far must the electron travel for there to be 50.0 GeV of work? (These numbers are similar to the linear accelerators that can be found in many universities.) (km)
A proton moves from a location where V- 86 V to a spot where V= -43 V.
(a) What is the change in the proton's kinetic energy?
(b) If we replace the proton with an electron, what is the change in kinetic energy?
Calculate the speed of an electron (in m/s) after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 140 V.
7.02e25
m/s
The speed of the electron v can be found using the kinetic energy equation, K = 1/2(mv^2).
The change in kinetic energy is equal to the work done on the electron, K = W = -U = -qV.
Using those two equations, solve for the speed v in terms of the potential V and constants.
Remember that the mass of an electron is 9.1e-31 kg and its charge is 1.6e-19 C.

- The phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a material when it absorbs electromagnetic waves is called the photoelectric effect. Visible light shines energy on a metal sheet with energy enough for the metal sheet to emit electrons. In order to measure the energy of these electrons, another negatively charged plate (-24.8 V with respect to the metal sheet) is placed in the path of the electrons. The electrons slow down upon contact with the negatively charged plate and stop. What is the initial speed of these electrons?arrow_forwardWhat is the speed of an electron after being accelerated from rest through a 2.5×107 V potential difference?
