Inside a vacuum tube, an electron is in the presence of a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 285 N/C.
(a)
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the electron (in m/s2)?
(b)
The electron is initially at rest. What is its speed (in m/s) after 9.00 ✕ 10−9 s?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The strength of the electric field is 285 N/C.

The initial speed of the electron is 0 m/s.

The time interval is 9x10-9 s.
