- If a proton is released from rest in an electric field, will it move in the direction of increasing or decreasing potential? Also answer this question for an electron and a neutron. Explain why.arrow_forwardA particle with charge 1.60 1019 C enters midway between two charged plates, one positive and the other negative. The initial velocity of the particle is parallel to the plates and along the midline between them (Fig. P26.48). A potential difference of 300.0 V is maintained between the two charged plates. If the lengths of the plates are 10.0 cm and they are separated by 2.00 cm, find the greatest initial velocity for which the particle will not be able to exit the region between the plates. The mass of the particle is 12.0 1024 kg. FIGURE P26.48arrow_forwardA parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that are 8.00 cm on each side and 3.80 mm apart. The space between the plates is completely filled with two square slabs of dielectric, each 8.00 cm on a side and 1.90 mm thick. One slab is Pyrex glass and the other slab is polystyrene. If the potential difference between the plates is 86.0 V, find how much electrical energy can be stored in this capacitor.arrow_forward
