## Question: Particle Acceleration in a Parallel Plate CapacitorA simple particle accelerator is built using a large parallel plate capacitor (two plates of metal at different voltages separated by some distance) sending a charged particle between them towards a hole in one plate. A diagram of this is below.If the two plates are given a potential \(V_i = 0V\) and \(V_f = 120V\), what would the exiting speed of an electron be if it started out stationary at the \(V_i\) plate?### Diagram Explanation:- The diagram shows two parallel plates. - The left plate is labeled \(V_i\) with a voltage of \(0V\).- The right plate is labeled \(V_f\) with a voltage of \(120V\).- An electron starts stationary at the \(V_i\) plate and is accelerated across the space between the plates.- The movement direction is indicated by an arrow pointing from the left to the right plate, ending at a small gap or hole in the \(V_f\) plate.

Problem 5 Consider a parallel-plate capacitor with a plate area of A = 8.50 cm². The separation between the plates is d₂ = 3.00 mm (the space between the plates is filled with air). The plates of the capacitor are charged by a 6.00 V battery, i.e., the potential difference between the plates is V₂ = 6.00 V. The plates are then disconnected from the battery and pulled apart (without discharge) to a sepa- ration of df = 8.00 mm. In the following, neglecting any fringing effects.
