A proton with an initial speed of is brought to rest by an electric field.
a. Did the proton move into a region of higher potential or lower potential?
b. What was the potential difference that stopped the proton?
Charge is distance from a positive point charge . Charge is distance from . What is the ratio of their potential energies due to their interactions with ?
Charge is distance from the negative plate of a parallel-plate capacitor. Charge is distance from the negative plate. What is the ratio of their potential energies?
An electron with an initial speed of is brought to rest by an electric field.
a. Did the electron move into a region of higher potential or lower potential?
b. What was the potential difference that stopped the electron?
In FIGURE EX25.26, a proton is fired with a speed of 200,000 m/s from the midpoint of the capacitor toward the positive plate.
a. Show that this is insufficient speed to reach the positive plate.
b. What is the proton’s speed as it collides with the negative plate?

Reproduceon your paper. Then draw a dot (or dots) on the figure to show the position (or positions) at which the electric potential is zero.
