Explanation:
The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of each of the electric forces between two point-at-rest charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:
In this case we have an electron (-e) and a proton (e), so:
In this case, the electric force is negative, therefore, the force is repulsive and its magnitude is:
Answer:
The energy required to accelerate an electron is 0.582 Mev and 0.350 Mev.
Explanation:
We know that,
Mass of electron
Rest mass energy for electron = 0.511 Mev
(a). The energy required to accelerate an electron from 0.500c to 0.900c Mev
Using formula of rest,
(b). The energy required to accelerate an electron from 0.900c to 0.942c Mev
Using formula of rest,
Hence, The energy required to accelerate an electron is 0.582 Mev and 0.350 Mev.
