A)0.25 V.
B)0.5 V.
C)1 V.
D)2 V.
E)4 V.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electric potential acquired by an electron is directly proportional to the electric field strength and the distance traveled. Therefore, if two electrons are pushed the same distance into the same electric field, they will acquire the same electric potential, which in this case is 1 V. The answer is choice C.
