Whelp, that post didn't go so well.jlmccart03 said:
Oh, that's a lot easier. What do you know about the units of energy "eV" (electron Volts) and how you express the kinetic energy of a moving electron...?jlmccart03 said:
Well units of energy eV is 1.6*10^-19 J and KE = 1/2mv^2 for an electron.berkeman said:
To calculate electric potential using only velocity, you will need to use the formula V = mgh/q, where V is the electric potential, m is the mass of the charged particle, g is the gravitational acceleration, h is the height of the particle, and q is the charge of the particle. You will also need to know the direction of the electric field and the direction of the velocity.
No, you cannot find electric potential without knowing the charge of the particle. The charge of the particle is a crucial factor in determining the electric potential, as seen in the formula V = mgh/q.
Electric potential is typically measured in volts (V). However, it can also be measured in other units such as joules per coulomb (J/C) or electron volts (eV).
The velocity of a charged particle affects the electric potential by determining the kinetic energy of the particle. As the particle moves with a certain velocity in an electric field, it gains or loses kinetic energy, which in turn affects the electric potential.
No, you cannot find electric potential if you only know the velocity of a charged particle in a magnetic field. Electric potential and magnetic fields are two separate phenomena and cannot be directly related without additional information.
