Activity 1

1. How much work is needed to accelerate an electron, q= 1.6 X 10 -19 C through 20 000 V in an
electron gun of a TV picture tube?

( 1.6 x 10−19 ) x 20000=3.2 x 10−16 J

Activity 2

Check your Understanding

3. Voltages are always measured in two points. Why?

Because there are two points of attraction, one positive and one negative.
