Mr. Usabal uses two charged parallel plates and tries to calculate the potential energy between the plates. The separation between the plates is 5 cm, and the magnitude of the electric field between the plates is 650 Volt/meter. What is the change in potential energy of the proton when accelerated from the positively charged plate to the negatively charged plate?
