Two parallel conducting plates are oriented in an ? − ?coordinate system. The plates are separated by a distance ? = 0.05?, and the origin of the coordinate system is halfway between theplates. The plate separation is very small compared to the size ofthe plates. The left plate is at a potential ?L = 50 ?,and the right plate is at a potential ?R = 10?.
1. A proton at the origin begins at rest. Use conservation ofenergy to find its velocity when it hits one of the plates. Whichplate does it hit?
2. An electron at the origin begins with an initial velocity ?⃗?= (4 × 106 ?/?)?̂. Use conservation of energy to find its velocitywhen it hits the right plate?
3. What is the acceleration of a proton at the origin? Expressyour answer in unit vector notation.
