In x-ray machines,electrons are subjected to electric fields as great as 6 × 10⁵ N/C.Find an electron's acceleration in this field.(m_e = 9.11 × 10−³¹ kg,e = 1.6 × 10−¹⁹ C)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acceleration of an electron in an electric field is given by a = F/m = eE/m. Substituting the given values, a = (1.6 × 10^-19 C)(6 × 10^5 N/C) / (9.11 × 10^-31 kg) = 1.1 × 10^17 m/s².
