The energy gained by electrons as they are accelerated by an electric field is
1 answer:
The energy gained by an electron as it is accelerated by an electric field is equal to the work done by the electric field itself, and this is equal to the product between the charge of the electron and the potential difference across which the electron traveled:
(1)
where e is the electron charge, and
is the potential difference between the initial and the final point of the electron, and this is equal to
(2)
where E is the intensity of the electric field and d is the distance covered by the electron. If we substitute (2) into (1), we find a final expression for the energy gained by the electron

Answer:
655128 ohm
Explanation:
C = Capacitance of the capacitor = 7.8 x 10⁻⁶ F
V₀ = Voltage of the battery = 9 Volts
V = Potential difference across the battery after time "t" = 4.20 Volts
t = time interval = 3.21 sec
T = Time constant
R = resistance
Potential difference across the battery after time "t" is given as
T = 5.11 sec
Time constant is given as
T = RC
5.11 = (7.8 x 10⁻⁶) R
R = 655128 ohm
