(b) Would a proton traveling at the same speed require a greater or lesser magnitude potential difference? Explain. (c) Find a symbolic expression for the ratio of the proton stopping potential and the electron stopping potential, Vp/Ve.

The potential energy U is related to the electron charge (-e) and potential Vab is related by the equation: U- Assuming all potential energy U is converted to kinetic energy K. K+U=0 K--U Since K=mv and using the formula for potential energy above, we arrive at an equation for speed: 1/2 Plugging in values, the value of the electron's speed is: x 10' m/sarrow_forwardA small metallic sphere has a mass of 8.00x10^-6 kg and a charge of -2.5 uc (microcoulombs).
