Answer :
Answer:
V = (k*Q)/R
Explanation:
Total potential difference accelerates the electron to being very far away from Q is;
V = (k*Q)/R
Where,
V is the Potential Difference in Joules per Coulomb
k is the constant
Q is the charge in Coulomb
R is Electron distance in cm or m
Example
An electron starts from rest 66.1 cm from a fixed point charge with Q = -0.120 μC. What total potential difference accelerates the electron from being very far away from Q
For k = 9.0*10^9 N*m^2/C^2
V = (k*Q)/R
V = (9.0*10^9 * -0.120*10^-6)/0.661
V = -1633.9 Volt.
The answer will change to positive because V = (k*Q)/R is negative at the outset and Zero far away.
The electron (with a negative charge) has a positive energy in the beginning and that gets converted into a positive kinetic energy "far away".
