AV = -Ed = -(7.2 × 104 v/m)(0.60 m) = B V From Equation 25.3, we have the following. AU = qAV = eAV = (1.6 x 10-19 C)(AV) | The negative sign means that the potential energy of the system decreases as the proton moves in the direction of the electric field. This decrease is consistent with the conservation of energy in an isolated system: as the proton accelerates in the direction of the field, it gains kinetic energy and at the same time the system loses electric potential energy. The increase in kinetic energy of a charged particle in an electric field is exploited in many devices, including electron guns for TV picture tubes and particle accelerators for research in particle physics. You can predict and observe the speed of the proton as it arrives at the negative plate for random values of the electric field using this Interactive Example.
