Motion of Charges in an Electric Field

An electron of mass 'mm' and charge 'qq' is accelerated from rest in a uniform electric field of strength 'EE'. The velocity acquired by the electron, when it travels a distance 'LL', is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. a=qEma = \frac{qE}{m}; from rest, v2=2aLv^2 = 2aL.
  2. v=2qELmv = \sqrt{\frac{2qEL}{m}}
  3. So the answer is (b).
