0 - mv2/2 = e·ΔU; ΔU = - mv2/(2e) = - 9.11·10-31kg·5.52·1010m2/s2/(-2·1.6·10-19C) = 0.86 V
K = eΔU = 0.86 eV

asked 05/10/24An electron with an initial speed of 5.50×105 m/s is brought to rest by an electric field.
What was the potential difference that stopped the electron?
What was the initial kinetic energy of the electron, in electron volts?
