Question

Two large parallel plates are placed horizontally with respect to each other and are then connected to a 200V battery. If the distance beteeen the plates is 2cm, the uniform electric field between the plates is 10^4N/C in the upward direction. If the electron is released from rest at the upper plate, calculate:

a) the kinetic energy of the electron after traveling 2cm to the lower plate.

b) the time required for the electron to travel this distance.
