A parallel-plate capacitor has a charge Q and plate separation d, as shown below. We assume that the size of plates is much larger than the separation d. Each particle is initially at rest and then released, allowing it to accelerate. Assuming each particle has the same mass, rank the speeds of the particles when they impact the left plate. 1.
