Two insulating plates are both uniformly charged in such a way that the potential difference between them is $V_2 - V_1 = 20\ V$. (i.e., plate $2$ is at a higher potential). The plates are separated by $d = 0.1\ m$ and can be treated as infinitely large. An electron is released from rest on the inner surface of plate $1. $ What is its speed when it hits plate $2?$

If an $\alpha$-particle and a proton are accelerated from rest by a potential difference of 1 megavolt then the ratio of their kinetic energy will be

A problem of practical interest is to make a beam of electrons turn at $90^o$ corner. This can be done with the electric field present between the parallel plates as shown in the figure. An electron with kinetic energy $8.0 × 10^{-17}\ J$ enters through a small hole in the bottom plate. The strength of electric field that is needed if the electron is to emerge from an exit hole $1.0\ cm$ away from the entrance hole, traveling at right angles to its original direction is $y × 10^5\ N/C$ . The value of $y$ is
