An Alpha particle (a Helium nucleus with a +2e charge) enters a parallel plate arrangement through a hole in the positive plate held at +5.0V and is accelerated towards the negative plate held at -5.0V. a) What is speed of the Alpha particle when it reaches the negative plate? (Assume its initial velocity is zero) p) How fast is it moving when it is at the center of the gap between the plates? Mass of Alpha Particle: m = 6.645 × 10=27kg Elementary charge: e = 1.602× 10¬1ºC
