Homework Statement



An electron acquires 3.01e-16 J of kinetic energy when it is accelerated by an electric field from plate A to plate B. What is the potential difference between the plates?
_____V

Homework Equations



- (Wba / q ) = V

The Attempt at a Solution



- (3.01e-16 / 1.6e-19) = V
V = -1881.25
 
would those give me the velocity between the two plates?
