Electron moving in the field of parallel plate capacitor
Not what you're looking for?
An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor. The charge per unit area on each plate is phi= 1.8 x 10 ^-7 C/m^2, and the plates are separated by a distance of 1.5 x 10^-2 m.
How fast is the electron moving just before it reaches the positive plate?
