Homework Statement
The questions is as follows:
Two isolated infinite parallel conducting sheets are .05 m apart and are initially uncharged. Electrons are then removed from one sheet and placed on the other sheet resulting in a voltage difference of 200V between the sheets. A proton is released from rest halfway between the sheets. Find the speed of the proton just before it hits one of the sheets.
Homework Equations
V being voltage and d being distance between the sheets
Using Coloumb's law to swap out F for E.
Using KE to determine that max velocity.
The Attempt at a Solution
Once I get to the last equation I simple plug in the charge of a proton for q and the mass of a proton for m, along with the given 200V different for V. Is this the correct assumption for this problem?
When I plug it all in it comes to 1.95x10^5 m/s
