A method of treating electron-proton interaction is presented. The energies involved in the interaction are estimated. Only elastic collisions are considered. The cross sections of the processes are not taken into account. Calculations are carried out in the centre of mass frame. Relevant quantities are transformed into the laboratory frame. Results indicate that the energy per collision gained by an electron ranges from 0.5 MeV to 0.6 MeV, under suitable conditions.
