Answer

$t=1.22\times10^{-10}s$

Work Step by Step

From the first equation of motion, $v_f=v_i+at$ $\implies t=\frac{v_f-v_i}{a}$.............eq(1) Given that, $v_f=\frac{c}{10}=\frac{3\times10^8}{10}=3\times10^7\frac{m}{s}$ As initially electron is at rest so $v_i=0\frac{m}{s}$ Putting these values in eq(1) and solving: $t=\frac{3\times10^7-0}{2.46\times10^{17}}$ $t=1.22\times10^{-10}s$
