A parallel plate capacitor is assembled using two square plates with a side length of 5.0 cm and a spacing of 1.0 mm between the plates. The electric field strength between the plates is 4.0 × 107 V/m. If a proton is shot from the negative plate towards the positive plate and arrives moving at 3.2 × 106 m/s, what was the proton's speed as it left the negative plate?
In a laboratory, two metal plates are separated by a vertical distance of 4.0 m. A 2.3 nC-charged spherical ball is shot from the lower plate (at a potential V = 0 V) toward the upper metal plate at 3.2 m/s. If the mass of the spherical ball is 3.0 g and the potential difference between the metal plates is 1.5 × 106 V, determine the maximum height the ball will reach before it starts to fall down to the lower plate.
What is the maximum speed attained by an electron moving along the y-axis, given a potential function V(y) = V0•sin(3πy/λ), where V0 = 8000 V and λ = 2.5 mm, and the electron starts at y = 0 with an initial speed of 5.3 × 107 m/s?
Consider a tiny particle that has a charge of -2e and a mass of 1.82 × 10-30 kg that is accelerated through a potential difference of 1500V. If the particle starts from rest, determine what its final speed will be.
A proton is accelerated from rest to a speed of 3.0 × 107 m/s. Find the potential difference needed to achieve this final speed.
In a certain experiment, a beam of electrons is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 5000 V. If the electrons deliver 0.05J of electrical energy to a fluorescent material, how many electrons are launched through the potential to deliver the energy?
