what is the velocity of an electron that is in an electric field parallel to the trajectory of the electron?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]v= \frac{qE}{m}t+u[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that, the electron is moving parallel to the electric field.

Then the electron experience a force which is given by,

[tex]F=qE[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]ma=qE\\a=\frac{qE}{m}[/tex]

And q=e, and the acceleration is defines as,

[tex]a=\frac{d^{2}r }{dt^{2} }[/tex]

Here, r is the the path traced by an electron.

Now equate the acceleration.

[tex]\frac{d^{2}r }{dt^{2} }=\frac{eE}{m}[/tex]

Now integrate both side with respect to t.

[tex]\frac{dr}{dt}= \frac{eE}{m}t+C[/tex]

Now, consider at t=0 the initial velocity of electron is u.

[tex]u=\frac{eE}{m}(0)+C\\C=u[/tex]

Therefore the velocity of an electron is,

[tex]v= \frac{eE}{m}t+u[/tex]
