An electron of mass 9.11031kg and charge 1.61019C is situated in a uniform electric field of intensity 1.2104Vm1. Find the time it takes to travel 1cm from rest.


Given,
Mass of electron  (me)=9.11031kg
Charge of Electron (q)=1.61019C
Electric Field Intensity (E)=1.2104V/m
Distance (d)=1cm=1102m
Time (t)=?
We know that,
 
F   =    q.E   ⇒   m.a    =   q.E   ⇒   a    =   q.Em   =    (1.61019)(1.2104)9.11031
a=2.11015m/s2
Now,
To calculate the time, we have
S=ut+12at2     ⇒    S=12at2    [∵ u = 0]
t2   =   2.Sa     =    211022.11015
t=3.08109Sec
Hence, it takes 3.08109sec to travel 1 cm from rest.
