Homework Statement
Given is the X-ray machine in which electrons are accelerated in the potential difference of 10000 V before hitting the electrode and loosing its energy. Find the maximum energy of the emitted X rays in keV and in Joules.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
So for this one I started and though it would be simple using the equation ΔV= U/q, where U would be potential energy and this potential energy would be the maximum energy of the emitted X-rays. Then I realized that I do not have q. I was wondering if I am on the right track and if so am I missing something that would allow me to find q?
Thanks
