Step 1

The force on the charged particle can be determined as,

Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Here, q and E represent the charge’s magnitude and the electric field, respectively.

Let the electric field between the plates is uniform.

The electric field at any point between the plates can be represented as,
