    An electron initially at rest, is accelerated through a potential difference of 200 V, so that it acquires a velocity of \[8.4\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\]. The value of e/m of electron will be :

    A)  \[2.76\times {{10}^{12}}C/kg\]

    B)  \[1.76\times {{10}^{11}}C/kg\]

    C)  \[0.76\times {{10}^{12}}C/kg\]

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Energy acquired due to potential difference gives the kinetic energy. Energy acquired by electron of charge e due to potential V \[E=eV\] This provides kinetic energy to the electron, i .e, \[E=eV=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] where m is mass. The ratio \[\frac{e}{m}\] is given by \[\frac{e}{m}=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{2\,V}\] Given, \[v=8.4\times {{10}^{6}}m/s,\,V=200\]volt \[\therefore \] \[\frac{e}{m}=\frac{{{(8.4\times {{10}^{6}})}^{2}}}{2\times 200}=1.76\times {{10}^{11}}C/kg\]. Note: The ratio e- is known as specific charge.
