Question 24

From Physics HL Paper 1A (May 2025, TZ2)

  1. A pair of parallel conducting plates are separated by 50cm. The electric potential of one plate is +200V and the electric potential of the other plate is +450V. A proton travels from the +200V plate to the +450V plate.

What is the electric field strength between the plates and the change in the kinetic energy of the proton?
