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):

  • A
    $\frac{2eV}{3k_B}$
  • B
    $\frac{2eV}{3R}$
  • C
    $\frac{eV}{R}$
  • D
    $\frac{3eV}{2R}$
