Two parallel plates having charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign are separated by 24.0 cm. Each plate has a surface charge density of 38.0 nC/m2. A proton is released from rest at the positive plate.
(a) Determine the potential difference between the plates.
V
(b) Determine the kinetic energy of the proton when it reaches the negative plate.
J
(c) Determine the speed of the proton just before it strikes the negative plate.
km/s
(d) Determine the acceleration of the proton.
m/s2 (towards the negative plate)
(e) Determine the force on the proton
N (towards the negative plate.)
(f) From the force, find the magnitude of the electric field.
kN/C
