An electron moving with a velocity of enters into a uniform electric field and acquires a uniform acceleration of in the direction of its initial motion.
(i) Calculate the time in which the electron would acquire a velocity double of its initial velocity.
(ii) How much distance the electron would cover in this time?
(i) Given that, Initial velocity of the electron is u =
Acceleration of the electron is a =
We know that first equation of motion is,
v = u + at
2u = u + at
(ii) Now we know that,
