Two charged parallel metal plates are separated by a distanced and a potential difference of VAB between them. An electron is projected from one surface directly toward the other surface. (a) Illustrate and identify the properties of the metal plates: E, VA and V. (b) Determine an equation for the initial velocity of the electron if it will stop just at the second surface.
