Question
a parallel plate capacitor creates an electric field of strength 10N/C between its plates, which are separated by 10mm. If a small sphere with charge 2 nC and mass of 20 g is held next to the positive plate, what is the force on that sphere? What will the acceleration of the sphere be? how long will it take to reach the other plate? What will its speed be when it reaches the other plate?
