Question

An M=5.0x10-8kg dust particle that carries a Q=8.0x10-6C charge is placed in between two parallel plates that are equally but oppositely charged at a distance of 4.0cm from the (-) plate. The strength of this constant (uniform) electric field is E=12,500 N/C. Find the work done by the field on Q that pushes it toward the (-) plate through the 4.0cm distance.

Step 1

The work done (W) by an electric field on a charge (Q) when it moves through a distance (d) in the direction of the field is given by the formula: \[ W = Q \cdot E \cdot d \] where: - \( W \) is the work done, - \( Q \) is the charge, - \( E \) is the electric Show more…
