An evacuated tube uses an accelerating voltage of 55 kV to accelerate electrons to hit a copper plate and produce x rays. Non-relativistically, what would be the maximum speed of these electrons?

v = 4.4 x 10⁷ m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the electrons will be equal to the energy supplied by the electric voltage:

Kinetic Energy = Electric Energy

where,

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v = speed of electron = ?

e = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

V =Voltage = 55 kV = 55000 V

Therefore,

v = 4.4 x 10⁷ m/s
