Problem 7: (7% of Assignment Value)
Consider the parallel-plate capacitor shown in the figure. The plate separation is 1.3 mm and the the electric
field inside is 14(N)/(C). An electron is positioned halfway between the plates and is given some initial velocity,
v_(i).
Randomized Variables
d=1.3mm
E=14(N)/(C)
Part (a) \sqrt()
What speed, in meters per second, must the electron have in order to make it to the negatively charged plate?
v_(i,a)=56568.54249
v_(i,a)=5.657\times 10^(4) V Correct!
Part (b)
If the electron has half the speed needed to reach the negative plate, it will turn around and go towards the positive plate. What will its speed be, in meters per second,
when it reaches the positive plate in this case?
v_(f,b)=| [Kindly help with part b.]
