Example Two parallel plates have 100V connected across them which generates an electric field of 10,000 N/C. An electron is held near the upper plate. What is the force due to the electric field? If released how fast does the electron accelerate? $F = (10000)(e)$ $electric$ $pd$ 100V $F = m \times a$

Explain why an electron will accelerate toward a region of lower electric potential energy but higher electric potential.
How many electron volts of energy must an electron gain to bring its mass (a) to $1.05 m_{0}$ and (b) to $2 m_{0}$ ? In each case what is the speed of the electron?
What potential difference is needed to accelerate an electron from rest to a speed of $2.0 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ?$
