In x-ray machines,electrons are subjected to electric fields as great as 6.0 x 10⁵ N/C.Find an electron's acceleration in this field.(m_e = 9.11 x 10^-31 kg,e = 1.6 x 10^-19 C)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acceleration can be calculated using the formula $ a = \frac{F}{m} $, where $ F = eE $. Substituting the given values, $ a = \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C})(6.0 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/C})}{9.11 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{kg}} = 1.1 \times 10^{17} \, \text{m/s}^2 $.
