Question

15.

Determine the magnitude and direction of the net electric field between two infinite parallel planes of charge. The plane on the left has surface charge density + 0.55 uC /m^2 and the plane on the right has surface charge density – 0.55 uC /m^2. You many use left or right to indicate direction.

Answer is 62,000 N/C

a) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force on a proton located between the planes of charge in question 15. Charge on proton = + 1.602 X 10 – 19 C.
b) Mass of a proton = 1.6726219 × 10-27 kg. Calculate the instantaneous acceleration of the proton subject to the force of part (a)
c) Determine the magnitude and direction of the force on an electron between the charged planes. Charge of electron = negative of the charge of the proton.
