An electron gains kinetic energy equal to e(100) when it moves through a potential difference of 100 V. Is this statement correct?

1. Yes, it is correct
2. No, it is incorrect
3. The information is insufficient to decide
4. This does not apply

Correct answer: Yes, it is correct

Solution

The kinetic energy acquired by an electron when it is accelerated through a potential difference of 100 V is given by K.E. = e × V, where e is the charge of the electron. Substituting V = 100 V, K.E. = e × 100, making the statement true.
