Question

A proton is moved from the negative to the positive plate of a parallel-plate arrangement. The plates are 5 cm apart and the electric field is uniform with a magnitude of 2500 N/C. a) What is the proton's potential energy charge? b) What is the potential difference between the plates? c) If the proton is released from rest, what speed will it have just before it hits the other plate?

Step 1

The charge of a proton is approximately 1.6 * 10^{-19} C, the electric field is given as 2500 N/C, and the distance between the plates is 5 cm or 0.05 m. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: ΔPE = (1.6 * 10^{-19} C) * (2500 N/C) * (0.05 m) ΔPE = 2 * Show more…
