Question10 Part I: Candidates were required to answer any five questions from this part.
Electrons from a hot cathode are accelerated from rest onto a target in a vacuum tube maintained at a potential difference of 180 volts. Calculate the velocity of the electrons on reaching the target.
[Mass of electron = 9.0 x 10-31 kg; charge of an electron = 1.6 x 10-19 C].
