Physics-Potential Difference
NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 2 volts. What is the energy gained by the electron in electron volts (eV)?
A
1.6 × 10^(-19) eV
B
3.2 × 10^(-19) eV
C
1 eV
D
2 eV
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
The energy gained by an electron when accelerated through a potential difference of 1 volt is 1 eV. Therefore, for a 2-volt potential difference, the energy gained is 2 eV.
