The kinetic energy gained by the proton is equal to the work done on it by the electric field. Using the equation for work, you can find the final velocity of the proton. Given the potential difference (voltage) of 25000 V, you can calculate the speed gained by the proton.
The charge of a proton is positive, while the charge of an electron is negative.
Work = (Charge)x(Voltage change). The Charge on a proton is +e. The change in voltage is (-80 V - 140 V) = -220V. So it is -220 eV. It is negative, because the proton has moved to a lower potential, and therefore gave up energy to the field.
The potential energy decreases as the proton is brought closer to the electron. This happens because the electric force between opposite charges causes them to attract each other, leading to a reduction in their potential energy as they get closer together.
Electric field points from high potential to low potential. Positive particles had tendency to follow electric field. If you are moving the particle against this tendency you are doing work, and this work give more potential energy to the particle.
The charge of proton 'e' is 1.602 x 10--19 C. If it is subjected to a potential difference of 50 V, then the electrostatic potential energy gained by that proton will be 50 eV. To get the energy in joule, replace 'e' by 1.602 x 10 --19. Then, the required value is 8.01x10 --19 J eV is the unit of energy which will be more convenient while dealing with very very small amount of energy. 1 eV = 1.602 x 10 --19 J

the alpha particle will accelerate slower and follow a tighter/smaller spiral outward than the proton.
passage through selective channels, aided by the membrane potential created by proton pumps.
The charge of a proton is positive, while the charge of an electron is negative.
There is no difference, they are one the same. A proton has a positive charge and a positive charge is a proton. Of course with the positive charge, it's simply having more protons than electrons.
Work = (Charge)x(Voltage change). The Charge on a proton is +e. The change in voltage is (-80 V - 140 V) = -220V. So it is -220 eV. It is negative, because the proton has moved to a lower potential, and therefore gave up energy to the field.
a proton is positively charged whereas a neutron has no charge, it is neutral.
The proton has a +1 charge, while a neutron has no charge, and is neutral.
A proton and an electron have exactly opposite charges. If you take the charge of a proton as +1, then an electron has a charge of -1.
The electrons that flow through the two photosystems in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis have their highest potential energy at the beginning, when they are excited by sunlight and enter the electron transport chain. This potential energy is used to create a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane, which is then harnessed to produce ATP through ATP synthase.
The potential energy decreases as the proton is brought closer to the electron. This happens because the electric force between opposite charges causes them to attract each other, leading to a reduction in their potential energy as they get closer together.
