Textbook Question

Chapter 20.2, Problem 2EYU

Particle A accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 1 V and acquires a speed of 1 m/s Particle B accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 10 V and acquires a speed of 2 m/s. If the particles have the same mass, is the magnitude of the charge of particle A greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the charge of particle B? Explain.
