A proton and an electron are released from rest at the midpoint between the plates of a charged parallel plate capacitor. Except for these particles, nothing else is between the plates. Ignore the attraction between the proton and the electron, and decide which particle strikes a capacitor plate first. Choose from below:
a. proton
b. electron
c. they strike the plate at the same time
This question is based on following concepts
1. concept of electric potential energy
2. concept of conservation of energy
3. Idea of mass of electrons and protons
the detailed solution is described below

A proton and an electron are released from rest at the same time from the midpoint between two charged parallel plates. The plates are charged with equal surface charge densities of opposite signs. Ignore the interaction between the electron and the proton and consider only the interaction of each charge with the electric field of the plates. After being released, the proton will accelerate toward the negative plate, and the electron will accelerate toward the positive plate. (a) Which charge...

Three points A, B, and C are located along a horizontal line, as the figure shows. A positive charge is released from rest at point A and accelerates toward point B. Upon reaching B, it continues to accelerate toward C. If only motion along the line is allowed, what would a negative charge do if it were released from rest at point B? It would remain stationary It would accelerate toward A. O It would accelerate toward C A proton...
The electric field between two parallel plates is uniform, with magnitude 576 N/C. A proton is held stationary at the positive plate, and an electron is held stationary at the negative plate.

A Proton between Oppositely Charged Plates A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged parallel plates 1.55 cm apart. A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate in a time interval 1.56x10-6 s.

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a
parallel plate capacitor and accelerates to the positive plate (see
the drawing). The plates are separated by a distance of 1.7 cm, and
the electric field within the capacitor has a magnitude of 2.7 x
106 V/m. What is the kinetic energy of the electron just as it
reaches the positive plate? The figure shows a vertical plate on
the left that is negatively charged and another vertical...
