A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in Figure 7.46, where there is a uniform electric field between two plates.

(b) Explain why the electron will not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole.

A common demonstration involves charging a rubber balloon, which is an insulator, by rubbing it on your hair and then touching the balloon to a ceiling or wall, which is also an insulator. Because of the electrical attraction between the charged balloon and the neutral wall, the balloon slicks to the wall. Imagine now that we have two infinitely large, Hat sheets of insulating material. One is charged, and the other is neutral, lf these sheets are brought into contact, does an attractive force exist between them as there was for the balloon and the wall?
