Problem 2

The distance between the two plates of a parallel plate capacitor is 5 cm. The electric potential difference between the two plates is V= 6.0 v.

  A proton is released from rest from the positive plate of a capacitor.

q = 1.60 × 10-19 C, m electron = 1.67 × 10-27 kg,

Show formulas, substitution, and calculation with units.

Hint: You need to write the relation between Electric potential energy ( q V)and kinetic energy. ( K= ½ mv2 ).
