A.

5.22cm

B.

5.24cm

C.

5.26

D.

5.35

Correct answer is C

An electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 70kV in a vacuum. Calculate the maximum speed acquired by the electron (electronic charge = -1.6 x 10-19; mass of an electron = 9.1 x 10-31kg)

A.

3.00 x 108ms-1

B.

2.46 x 108ms-1

C.

1.57 x 108ms-1

D.

1.32 x 108ms-1

E.

1.11 x 108ms-1

Correct answer is C

ev = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mv2

v2 = \(\frac{ev}{\frac{1}{2}m}\)

V = \(\sqrt{\frac{ev}{\frac{1}{2m}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 70 \times 10^3}{\frac{1}{2} \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31}}}\)

= \(\sqrt{246.2 \times 10^{14}}\) = 1.57 x 108
