Question
Problem 23.51
19 of 19
I Review I Constants
A parallel-plate capacitor has 3.9 cm × 3.9 cm electrodes
with surface charge densities +1.0 × 10-6 C/m². A proton
traveling parallel to the electrodes at 1.9x106 m/s enters the
center of the gap between them.
Part A
By what distance has the proton been deflected sideways when it reaches the far edge of the capacitor? Assume the field is uniform inside the capacitor
and zero outside the capacitor.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Step 1

Given Data-

Parallel-plate Capacitor Electrodes A=3.9 cm×3.9 cm

                   Surface charge density Q=±1.0×10-6 C/m2

                            Proton traveling v=1.9×106 m/s

Solution part (A)-

Calculating Distance-

The Electric Field

E=QεE=1×10-68.85×10-12E=1.12×105 J/C
