Find the rest energy of an electron (m = 9.109 x 10-31 kg, q = -e = -1.602 x 10-19 C) in joules and in electron volts. (a) Find the speed of an electron that has been accelerated by an electric field, from rest, through a potential increase of 20.0 kV or of 5.00 MV (typical of a high-voltage x-ray machine).
