15. Kinetic Theory Of Gases question bank (Physics)

The average translational kinetic energy of a molecule in a gas is $E_1$. The kinetic energy of the electron $(e)$ accelerated from rest through a potential difference of $V$ volts is $E_2$. The temperature at which $E_1 = E_2$ is possible is (where $N_A$ is Avogadro's number, $k_B$ is Boltzmann constant, and $R$ is the gas constant):

The average translational kinetic energy of a molecule in a gas is $E_1$. The kinetic energy of an electron $(e)$ accelerated from rest through a potential difference of $V$ volts is $E_2$. The temperature at which $E_1 = E_2$ is possible (assuming the mass of the molecule and electron are the same) is: (where $N$ is Avogadro's number, $e$ is the elementary charge, $R$ is the gas constant)
