A small charged particle of mass 1.0 x 10-8 kg is traveling rightward between two plates separated by a distance d = 80 cm, as shown below. The electric field between the plates has a constant magnitude of 3.0 x 106 V/m and is directed leftward. The particle's speed is 5.0 x 103 m/s at the left plate and 2.0 x 103 m/s at the right plate. Ignore the effect of gravity. (a) (b) Is the particle positively charged or negatively charged? Justify your answer briefly but clearly. Find the charge (with correct sign) of the particle, as well as the potential difference (with correct sign) through which the particle has moved. (Note: The potential difference is positive if the right plate is at a higher potential than the left plate, and negative if the right plate is at a lower potential than the left plate. Show all your work; do not simply plug numbers into a result derived in class.)
