Homework Statement There is a parallel-plate capacitor with a plate area A = 5.52 cm2 and a plate separation d = 5.52 mm. The left half of the gap is filled with material of dielectric constant κ1 = 7.00; the right half is filled with material of dielectric constant κ2 = 15.0. What is the...

Still have no idea, i was thinking about using Vfinal^2= Vinitial^2 + 2a(Xfinal - Xinitial ) but i am not sure how to find a.

Oh, okay. Thanks a lot for all of your help. I am not that great at physics.

Did you mean to say 1920*x/ dx? Then, I would get (1920*.025)/ (2*.025) = 960, does that sound correct?

Homework Statement A charged particle (either an electron or a proton) is moving rightward between two parallel charged plates separated by distance d = 2.20 mm. The charge on the left has a potential of -70V and the charge on the right has a potential of -50V. The particle is slowing from...

When I put in my numbers using that equation, I get the same thing: E= -dV/dx = - 1920*(.025 ^2)/ .025 = 48V/m. I may be mistaken though... any thoughts?

Homework Statement The electric potential V in the space between two flat parallel plates 1 and 2 is given (in volts) by V = 1920x^2, where x (in meters) is the perpendicular distance from plate 1. What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field at x = 2.5 cm? (Take the direction...
