MCQ
An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of $1000$ volts. Its velocity is nearly
  • A
    $3.8 \times {10^7}m/s$
  • B
    $1.9 \times {10^6}m/s$
  • $1.9 \times {10^7}m/s$
  • D
    $5.7 \times {10^7}m/s$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1.9 \times {10^7}m/s$
c
(c) If the voltage given is $V$, then the energy of electron
$\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = eV$

$\Rightarrow v = \sqrt {\frac{{2eV}}{m}} $

$ = \sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}} \times 1000}}{{9.1 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}}}} = 1.875 \times {10^7}$$ \approx 1.9 \times {10^7}m/s$
