  • Two insulating plates are both uniformly charged in such a way that the potential difference between them is V_(2) - V_(1) = 20 V (i.e. plate 2 is at a higher potential). The plates are separated by d = 0.1 m and can be treated as infinitely large. An electron is released from rest on the inner surface of plate 1. What is its speed when it hits plate 2 ? ( e = 1.6 xx10^(-19) C , m_(e) = 9.11 xx10^(-31) kg)

    A
    `2.65 xx10^(6)` m/s
    B
