Answer

The final speed of the electron is $1.875\times 10^{8}$ $m/s$ Th energy of the electron in electron volts unit is given by $10^5$ $eV$

Work Step by Step

If $m$ be the mass of the electron and $v$ is its final speed, then $\frac{1}{2}mv^2=e\Delta\phi$ or, $v=\sqrt {\frac{2e\Delta\phi}{m}}$ or, $v=\sqrt {\frac{2\times1.6\times 10^{-19}\times100\times 10^3}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}$ $v\approx1.875\times 10^{8}$ $m/s$ $\therefore$ The final speed of the electron is $1.875\times 10^{8}$ $m/s$ Th energy of the electron in electron volts unit is given by $E=100\times10^3$ $eV$ $=10^5$ $eV$
