Problem

Particle A has charge +2e+2e and mass mm. Particle B has charge +e+e and the same mass mm. Both start from rest and move through the same potential difference of 250 V250\,\text{V}. Compare their final kinetic energies: is KAK_A greater than, less than, or equal to KBK_B? Justify your answer briefly.
