The anode (positive terminal) of an X-ray tube is at a potential of +125000 V with respect to the cathode (negative terminal). (a) How much work (in joules) is done by the electric force when an electron is accelerated from the cathode to the anode? (b) If the electron is initially at rest, what kinetic energy does the electron have when it arrives at the anode?
