Mm/sarrow_forwardA negatively charged particle of mass 8.0 x 10-13 kg is traveling rightward between two plates separated by a distance d = 50 cm, as shown below. The particle is launched with a speed of 1.0 x 104 m/s at the left plate, and strikes the right plate at a speed of 5.0 x 10³ m/s. The left plate is at electric potential V₁ = +1.0 V, while the right plate is at electric potential V₂ = -5.0 V. Assume the electric field between the plates is uniform, and ignore the effect of gravity. 2 (a) (b) V₁ d 7 V₂ Does the potential energy of the particle increase or decrease as it moves from the left plate to the right plate? Is the electric field between the plates directed rightward or leftward? Justify your answers briefly. Show clearly that the electric field between the plates has magnitude 12 V/m (or 12 N/C). Then find the charge of the particle (with correct magnitude and sign). (Note: You may obtain the charge using either energy considerations or a "force and kinematics" approach.arrow_forwardA proton has a speed of 2.0 x 105 m/s at a point where the electrical potential is 1000 V.

How do you find the gravitational potential of two masses for any position around them that is outside the masses? Specifically, take the Earth and the Moon as an example. We need big masses like these because G is so small. Gravity is very weak. When we do electricity, we can work with smaller amounts of matter and smaller distances because electrical forces are stronger than gravitational forces.
