A deuteron and an alpha particle are accelerated with the same potential. Which one of the two has
less kinetic energy ? Explain

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Kinetic energy `alpha` q for same accelerating potential. Charge of deuteron is less as compared to an `alpha`-particle .So deuteron have less value of kinetic energy.
