Question

Two parallel plates carry uniform charge densities –0.25nC/m^2 and +0.25nC/m^2 .


Find the magnitude of the electric field between the plates.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
=



Part B
Find the direction of the electric field between the plates.
toward the negatively charged plate
toward the positively charged plate


Part C
Find the magnitude of the acceleration of an electron between these plates.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
=



Part D
Find the direction of the acceleration of an electron between these plates.
toward the negatively charged plate
toward the positively charged plate

Explanation / Answer

s = 0.25 nC/m^2 . A) Find the magnitude of the electric field between the plates. E = s/epsilon_0 = 28.25 V/m B) Find the direction of the electric field between the plates. toward the positively charged plate C) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of an electron between these plates. a = qE/m = 5.0*10^12 m/s^2 D) Find the direction of the acceleration of an electron between these plates. toward the negatively charged plate (electron has negative charge)
