Two large rectangular sheets of charge of side L = 2.0 m are separated by a distance d = 0.065 m. The left and right sheets have surface charge densities of 13.1 μC/m2 and -2.7 μC/m2, respectively. A proton is released from just above the left plate. What is the speed of the proton, in meters per second, when it passes through the small hole in the right plate? How long does it take, in seconds, for the proton to pass through the right plate after being released?
An electron is shot directly toward the center of a large metal plate that has surface charge density -2.0* 10-6 C/m2. If the initial kinetic energy of the electron is 1.60 *10-17 J and if the electron is to stop (due to electrostatic repulsion from the plate) just as it reaches the plate, how far from the plate must the launch point be?
Chapter 23, Problem 038
In part (a) of the figure an electron is shot directly away from a uniformly charged plastic sheet, at speed vs-2.80 x 105 m/s. The sheet is nonconducting, flat, and
very large. Part (b) of the figure gives the electron's vertical velocity component v versus time t until the return to the launch point. What is the sheet's surface charge
density?
