Question
Hey how would I solve this? An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of aparallel plate capacitor and accelerates to the positive plate. Theplates are separated by a distance of 1.4 cm, and the electricfield within the capacitor has a magnitude of 2.2 x 106V/m. What is the kinetic energy of the electron just as it reachesthe positive plate? Thanks! Hey how would I solve this?

We know that KE = q V = q E d = 1.6 x 10-19 C * 2.2 x 106 V/m *1.4 x 10-2 m =4.928 x 10-15 J
