Answer:
The speed is [tex]v =10.27 *10^{7} \ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The voltage is [tex]V = 30 kV = 30*10^{3} V[/tex]
The initial velocity of the electron is [tex]u = 0 \ m/s[/tex]
Generally according to the law of energy conservation
Electric potential Energy = Kinetic energy of the electron
So
[tex]PE = KE[/tex]
Where
[tex]KE = \frac{1}{2} * m* v^2[/tex]
Here m is the mass of the electron with a value of [tex]m = 9.11 *10^{-31} \ kg[/tex]
and
[tex]PE = e * V[/tex]
Here e is the charge on the electron with a value [tex]e = 1.60 *10^{-19} \ C[/tex]
=> [tex]e * V = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2[/tex]
=> [tex]v = \sqrt{ \frac{2 * e * V}{m} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]v = \sqrt{ \frac{2 * (1.60*10^{-19}) * 30*10^{3}}{9.11 *10^{-31}} }[/tex]
[tex]v =10.27 *10^{7} \ m/s[/tex]
