An electron (m = 9.1 × 10−31 kg, q = −1.6 × 10−19 C) starts from rest at point A and has a speed of 5.0 × 106 m/s at point B. Only electric forces act on it during this motion. Determine the electric potential difference VA − VB. a) −71 Vb) +71 Vc) −26 Vd) +26 Ve) −140 V

-71 V

Explanation:

Given that,

An electron starts from rest at point A and has a speed of 5.0 × 10⁶ m/s at point B.

We need to find the electric potential difference . It can be calculated by using the conservation of charges as follows :

m and q are mass and charge on electrons

So, the electric potential difference is (-71 V). So, the correct option is (a).
