a) Find the electric potential difference
ΔVe required to stop an electron (called a
"stopping potential") moving with an initial speed of
2.64 107 m/s.
kV
(b) Would a proton traveling at the same speed require a greater or
lesser magnitude of electric potential difference?
greater/lesser/equal
(c) Find a symbolic expression for the ratio of the proton stopping
potential and the electron stopping potential,
ΔVp/ΔVe. (Use the following
as necessary: mp for the mass of proton and
me for the mass of electron.)
ΔVp |
ΔVe |

Comment
A) the potential difference require to stop the electron was found to be 1981.98V
B) the potential difference require to stop the proton was found to be 3643794 v, which is more than that is electron.
C) the ratio was found to be 1838.46
