We are used to experiencing accelerations that are usually less than 10 m s⁻². For example, when we fall, our acceleration is about 9.81 m s⁻². When a car turns a corner sharply at speed, its acceleration is unlikely to be more than 5 m s⁻². However, if you were an electron, you would be used to experiencing much greater accelerations than this. Calculate the acceleration of an electron in a television tube where the electric field strength is 50,000 V cm⁻¹. (Electron charge −e = −1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C; electron mass me = 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg.)
