2. An evacuated tube uses an accelerating voltage of 40 kV to accelerate electrons to hit a copper plate and produce X-rays. a. How much potential energy does a single electron loose due to being accelerated through the 40 kV potential? Hint: what is the charge of a single electron? b. What would be the maximum speed of these electrons? Hint: Potential energy is converted into another form of energy and the mass of an electron is 9.11x10" kg.
