As shown in Figure 1, two parallel plates have a potential ditterence of 12 V and are held a distance of 0.001m apart. A ree charge held near the positive plate moves to the right, as shown, when it is released. It then moves through an opening in the negative plate on the right. 12V (a) Is the particle a proton or an electron? (b) What is the energy (in Joule) as it leaves the right plate? + (c) How fast is it moving when it reaches the negative plate? (d) What are the magnitude and the direction of the electric field between the plates?
