A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate, 1.60 cm distant from the first, in a time interval of 3.20×10−6s3.20×10 −6 s. (a) Find the magnitude of the electric field. (b) Find the speed of the proton when it strikes the negatively charged plate.

E = 326.17 N/C

Explanation:

(a) In order to calculate the magnitude of the electric field between the parallel plates you first calculate the acceleration of the proton. You use the following formula:

        (1)

vo: initial speed of the proton = 0m/s

t: time that the proton takes to cross the space between the plates = 3.20*10^-6 s

a: acceleration of the proton = ?

x: distance traveled by the proton = 1.60cm = 0.016m

You solve the equation (1) for a, and replace the values of all parameters:

Next, you use the Newton second law for the electric force, to find the magnitude of the electric field:

          (2)

q: charge of the proton = 1.6*10^-19C

m: mass of the proton = 1.77*10^-27kg

You solve the equation (2) for E:

The magnitude of the electric field in between the parallel plates is 326.17N/C

answer: the direction of the wind is expressed as the direction from which the wind is blowing. for example, easterly winds blow from east to west, while westerly winds blow from west to east.

explanation:

i think the answer is a, hope this is right, that would be my best guess.
