Question

Three charged metal disks are arranged as shown (cutaway view). The disks are held apart by insulating supports not shown in the diagram. Each disk has an area of 2.3 m2 (this is the area of one flat surface of the disk). Use the value 8.85e-12 C2/(N-m2) for ?0The charge Q1 = 6e-8 coulombs, and the charge Q2 = 4e-7 coulombs. 2 2 0.02 0.02 0.02 4 mm 1 7 ??1 ?+ +01 Disk 1 Disk 2 Disk 3

What is the potential difference V_C - V_B?
V_C - V_B =  ?????? volts

What is the potential difference V_D - V_C?
V_D - V_C = ??????   volts
What is the potential difference V_F - V_D?
V_F - V_D = ?????? volts
What is the potential difference V_G - V_F? V_G - V_F = ??????   volts
What is the potential difference V_G - V_A? V_G - V_A = ??????    volts

The charged disks have tiny holes which allow a particle to pass through them. An electron which is traveling at a fast speed approaches the plates from the left side. It travels along a path from A to G. Since no external work is done on the system of plates + electron,

?K + ?U = W_ext = 0

Consider the following states: Initial, electron at location A. Final, electron at location G.

What is the change in potential energy of the system?
?U =  ?????? joules
What is the change in kinetic energy of the electron?
?K =  ??????   joules
