An electron charge 1.6 x 10^-19C is accelerated in vacuum from rest at zero volt towards a plate at 40k V. Calculate the kinetic energy of the electron

4.0 x 10^-26J

4.0 x 10^-21J

6.4 x 10^-20J

3.2 x 10^-15J

2.5 x 10^-20J

Correct answer is D

E = \(\frac{1}{2}QV = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 40000\)

= 3.2 x 10^-15J
