A computer monitor accelerates electrons between two plates and sends them at high speed to form an image on the screen. If the elec- trons gain 4.1 * 10-15 J of kinetic energy as they go from one accelerat- ing plate to the other, what is the voltage between the plates?

Respuesta :

The voltage between the plates is 3.9 × [tex]10^-^3[/tex] V.

The work-energy theorem states that the delta in the equation equals the change in kinetic energy plus the change in potential energy. Here, a charge's potential energy is expressed as qV, where V is the position's electric potential.  The greater the change in voltage per unit distance, the greater the electric field.

The kinetic energy of the electrons = 4.1 × [tex]10^-^1^5[/tex] J

Charge of the electron = 1.602 × [tex]10^-^1^9[/tex] coulomb

Using,

     ΔU = q × ΔV

4.1 × [tex]10^-^1^5[/tex] = 1.602 × [tex]10^-^1^9[/tex] × ΔV

      ΔV  = 3.9 × [tex]10^-^3[/tex] V

Therefore, the voltage between the plates is 3.9 × [tex]10^-^3[/tex] V.
