Question

Map sapling learning A pair of closely spaced parallel conducting plates, charged with equal and opposite electric charges, produces a uniform electric field in the region between them. In designing a cutting-edge device that will revolutionize the electronics industry, you set up such a pair of plates with a separation of 0.993 mm between them and charge them so that the direction of the electricfield in their interior region is from plate A to plate B. Your idea requires that electrons, when released from rest at one of the plates, reach the other plate at the speed of 1.55% of the speed of light. (The speed of light is c 3.00 x 108 m/s.) At which plate should the electrons be released? O Either Cannot be determined What must the strength of the electric field be? Number

Explanation / Answer

The electrons must be released from plate B.

Potential difference between the plates must be
V = 510999 eV * 0.0155^2 /2 = 61.38 Volt
The strength of electric field must be
E = V/d = 61816 N/C

61816 eV is rest mass of electron,
