Question
The physics of an electron falling through a potential difference.
How much kinetic energy will an electron gain (joules) if it falls through a potential difference of 350 V?
How much kinetic energy will an electron gain (joules) if it falls through a potential difference of 350 V?
Answers
KE gain = e*V,
where e is the electron charge in Coulombs, and V = 350 volts
It may be helpful to recall that
1 Volt = 1 Joule per Coulomb
where e is the electron charge in Coulombs, and V = 350 volts
It may be helpful to recall that
1 Volt = 1 Joule per Coulomb
