Question

5. Two large parallel conducting plates are connected to a battery as shown, giving the lefi plate a negative charge and the right plate a positive charge. The parallel dashed lines shown are all equally spaced (i.e., distances between adjacent lines are the same). Suppose a +2-Coulomb positive charge is shot from a gun that is located on the left-side plate, but is pointed toward the right side; its initial kinetic energy (on the left-side plate) is 14 J. The charge slows down to a stop when it reaches the right-side plate. 1.6 .0 a. As it moved between the plates, by how much did the particle's potential energy change? Answer: What is the potential difference between the terminals of the battery? Answer: If the distance between the plates is 0.5 m, what is the magnitude of the electric field between the b. c. plates? Answer: d. At which of the three points A, B, or C is the potential the highest? Or is it the same everywhere?

Explanation / Answer

b) Potential difference between the terminals of the battery, V = 0 Volt

c)

Given, Q = +2 C

d = 0.5 m

But electric field between the plates, E = V / d

In our case V = 0,

só, E = 0/5 = 0 N/C
