Explanation:
The work done by the electric field on a charged particle is completely converted into kinetic energy. Work = q * V, where q is the magnitude of the charge and V is the potential difference. Since both an electron and a proton have the exact same magnitude of charge (e = 1.6 x 10^-19 C), they acquire identical kinetic energy (eV).
