The average translational kinetic energy of N molecules in a gas is E₁ . The kinetic energy of the electron (e) accelerated from rest through potential difference V volt is E₂ . The temperature at which E₁=E₂ possible is ( R= gas constant, N= number of molecules)
Options
- A3 V N e 2 R
- BV N e 2 R
- CV N e 3 R
- D2 V N e 3 R
Correct answer
D. 2 V N e 3 R
Step-by-step solution
The average translational KE of a gas molecule is 3 2 ( R N ) T=E₁ The KE of an electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference V is given by, e V=E₂ If E₁=E₂ aligned & 3 2 ( R N ) T^ =E₂ & T^ = 2 N E₂ 3 R = 2 N V e 3 R aligned
