- 2. The figure shows two parallel plates. The graph indicates the potential at points (X1= 0.300 m and X2= 0.400 m) between two plates, with V2 = 20 V and V1= 15 V. An electron is released from rest at x1, and that release point and the plate locations are aligned with the graph. What is the electrons speed (m/s) just as it runs into the plate? (You must decide which plate it hits) helpful info:: grap wo plate it hits.)
