1) Consider the figure below. An electron is fired towards a conducting plate from a distance L. The plate has a surface charge density and a radius that is much greater than the distance L. When the electron strikes the plate, it is measured that AK. E. = 10 eV, where AK.E.= Tf - To is the difference between the electron's final kinetic energy and initial kinetic energy.
