    Answer:

    [tex]E=\frac{K}{ed}[/tex]

    Explanation:

    We are given that

    Initial kinetic energy of an electron=K

    Distance=d

    Final velocity=v=0

    Charge,q=-1e

    We have to find the magnitude of electric field.

    Work done=[tex]Force\times displacement[/tex]

    Using the formula

    Work done=[tex]qE\times d=-eEd[/tex]

    Using work energy theorem

    Work done=Final K.E-Initial K.E=0-K

    Work done=-K

    Substitute the values

    -K=-eEd

    K=eEd

    [tex]E=\frac{K}{ed}[/tex]

    Hence, the magnitude of the electric field=[tex]E=\frac{K}{ed}[/tex]
