Question

Two plates separated by a distance d = 17.8 mm are charged to a potential difference V = 7.25 V. A constant force F = 9.31 N pushes a -8.30 mC charge from the positively charged plate to the negatively charged plate. Calculate the change in the kinetic energy ΔK, potential energy ΔU, and total energy ΔE of the charge as it travels from one plate to the other. Assume the initial speed of the charge is 0.

Step 1

E = 7.25 V / 0.0178 m = 407.30 V/m Now, we can find the force acting on the charge due to the electric field: F_electric = q * E where q is the charge and E is the electric field. F_electric = -8.30 * 10^{-3} C * 407.30 V/m = -3.38 N Since the force pushing Show more…
