Potential difference (V) = 1 V,

K.E. acquired = q V

= 1.6 × 10^-19 x 1

= 1.6 × 10^-19 joules

= 1 eV

If we accelerate an electron through a potential of 1 kV, it will gain 1 keV of energy. Now the proton has the same amount of charge as an electron. Hence it will also gain 1 keV of energy. The increased mass will mean the final velocity would be less.

Dear student

ΔKE=qV=eV=e×1×1eV

Hope this will help

Good Luck

Ans (c).

Proton has charge that is “+1e” and when a charge is accelerated through potential then it aquire kinetic energy whiich is equal to charge*potential difference.

So kinetic energy of proton=charge on proton * potential difference

=> kinetic energy of proton= (+1e)*(1V)

=> kinetic energy of proton=1eV
