Step 1
E = 9000 N/C d = 50 mm = 0.05 m So, V = 9000 N/C * 0.05 m = 450 V Show more…

A pair of charged conducting plates produces a uniform field of 12,000 N/C, directed to the right, between the plates. The separation of the plates is 4.0 cm. An electron is projected from plate A, directly toward plate B, with an initial velocity of vo = 2.0 !! 10^7 m/s, as shown in the figure. (e = 1.60 !! 10^-19 C, ε0 = 8.85 !! 10^-12 C^2/N · m^2, mel = 9.11 !! 10^-31 kg) Warning: watch your signs closely! A) What is the voltage difference ΔV between the plates (i.e., VB – VA in Volts)? B) What is the change in electric potential energy of the electron ΔUel between the plates (i.e., Uel,B – Uel,A in Joules)? C) What is the velocity in m/s of the electron as it strikes plate B?

An electric field of magnitude $1000 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{C}^{-1}$ is produced between two parallel plates having a separation of $2.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ as shown in figure (29-E4). (a) What is the potential difference between the plates ? (b) With what minimum speed should an electron be projected from the lower plate in the direction of the field so that it may reach the upper plate ? (c) Suppose the electron is projected from the lower plate with the speed calculated in part (b). The direction of projection makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the field. Find the maximum height reached by the electron.
