    An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 200 V. If e/ m for the electron be \[1.6\times {{10}^{11}}\] C/kg, the velocity acquired by the electron will be

    A)  \[8\times {{10}^{6}}\]m/s     

    B)   \[8\times {{10}^{5}}\]m/s

    C)  \[5.9\times {{10}^{6}}\] m/s    

    D)        \[5.9\times {{10}^{5}}\] m/s

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[V=200\,\,V,\,\,\frac{e}{m}=1.6\times {{10}^{11}}C/kg\] Kinetic energy of electron\[=eV\] . \[i.e.,\] \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=eV\] or            \[{{v}^{2}}=\frac{2e}{m}V\] or            \[v=\sqrt{2\frac{e}{m}V}\]                 \[=\sqrt{2\times 1.6\,\times {{10}^{11}}\times 200}\]                 \[=8\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\]
