A particle having a charge 1.6×10-19C enters midway between the plates of a parallel plate condenser. The initial velocity of the particle is parallel to the plate. A potential difference of 300 V is applied to the capacitor plate. If the length of the plate is 10 cm and separation 2 cm, calculate the greatest initial velocity for which the particles will not be able to come out of the plates. [The mass of the particle is 12×10-24 kg
