Answer: An electron is released from rest at the negative

Chapter 19, Problem 19.185

(choose chapter or problem)

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor and accelerates to the positive plate (see the drawing). The plates are separated by a distance of 1.2 cm, and the electric field within the capacitor has a magnitude of 2.1 106 V/m. What is the kinetic energy of the electron just as it reaches the positive plate?
