In Figure, a charged particle (either an electron or a proton) is moving rightward between two parallel charged plates separated by distance d=2.00 mm. The plate potentials are V1=-80.0 V and V2=-50.0 V. The particle is slowing from an initial speed of 200 km s-1 at the left plate.

(a) Is the particle an electron or a proton?
(b) What is its speed just as it reaches the plate 2?

A positron (charge +e mass equal to the electron mass) is moving at 1.5×107 m s-1 in the positive direction of an x-axis when, at x=0, it encounters an electric field directed along the x-axis. The electric potential V associated with the field is given in the figure. The scale of the vertical axis is set by Vs=500.0 V (a) Does the positron emerge from the field at x=0 (which means its motion is reversed) or at x=0.50 m (which means its motion is not reversed)? (b) What is its speed when it emerges?

Suppose N electrons can be placed in either of two configurations. In configuration 1, they are all placed on the circumference of a narrow ring of radius R and are uniformly distributed so that the distance between adjacent electrons is the same everywhere. In configuration 2, N-1 electrons are uniformly distributed on the ring and one electron is placed in the center of the ring.

(a) What is the smallest value of N for which the second configuration is less energetic than the first?

(b) For that value of considering anyone circumference electron, call it e.0 How many other circumference electrons are closer to e0 than the central electron is?

Two uniformly charged, infinite, nonconducting planes are parallel to a yz-plane and positioned at x=-50 cm and x=+50 cm. The charge densities on the planes are -50 nC m-2 and +25 nC m-2, respectively. What is the magnitude of the potential difference between the origin and the point on the x-axis at x=+100 cm?
