A potential difference V exists between two parallel plates that are
separated by a distance d. A particle of mass m and charge +q is
accelerated from rest through the potential difference, and as a result
moves between the plates in a straight line in the plane of the page, as
shown above. The particle reaches the right-hand plate with a speed v,
passes through a hole in the plate, and enters a region containing a uniform
magnetic field. The particle then follows the semicircular path shown.
Gravitational effects are negligible.
(a) Would the speed v of the particle be greater, smaller, or the same if the
magnitude of the potential difference was greater? Explain your answer.
