Question
An electron initially at rest, is allowed to accelerate through a potential difference of 1 V, gaining kinetic energy KEe, whereas a proton, also initially at rest, is let accelerate through a potential difference of 1 V, gaining kinetic energy KEp. As ∣qe∣ = ∣qp∣ but mp >> me, therefore,
Group of answer choices
KEe >> KEp
KEe << KEp
KEe = KEp
All we can say, is KEe ≠  KEp
