Two large parallel conducting plates are separated by
d=5cm
, causing a uniform electric field between them. The voltage
difference between the two plates is
250V
. A proton is released at rest from the edge of the positive plate inside.
a)What is the magnitude of the electric field between the two plates?
b)Find the work done by the electric field on the proton as it moves from the positive plate to the negative plate.
c)What is the change in potential energy of the proton as it moves from the positive plate to the negative plate?
d)What is the kinetic energy of the proton when it reaches the negative plate?
