Two insulating plates are both uniformly charged in such a way that the voltage between them is V2-V1=20 V (i.e., plate 2 is at a higher potential). The plates are separated by d=0.1 m and can be treated as infinitely large Fig. An electron is released from rest on the inner surface of plate 1. What is the velocity when it hits the plate 2e=1.6×10-19C,m0=9.11×10-31 kg
