Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4 \times 10^{6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, potential difference, \(V=45.5 \mathrm{~V}\) Velocity, \(v=\) ? Energy acquired by the electron after getling accelerated through the potential difference \(V\) is \(\mathrm{eV}\), which is equal to its kinetic energy. Hence, kinetic energy…
