Question

What is the kinetic energy in eV of an electron with speed 4×10⁶m/s?
Options
A 11.68 eV
B 8.89 eV
C 5.66 eV
D 4.60 eV
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Using KE = ½mv² with the electron's mass and given speed, then converting joules to eV by dividing by 1.6×10⁻¹⁹, gives approximately 4.60 eV.

Hint

Compute KE = ½mv² in joules first, then convert to electron-volts.
