For the situation described in Question 49, the charged particle is released from rest at the midpoint and strikes the negative plate at speed v. If the particle had instead

been released from rest at point A, would it have struck the negative plate at a speed greater than, equal to, or less than v? Explain your reasoning.

Reference Of question 49

The electric field lines between two parallel charged plates are everywhere perpendicular to the plates and parallel to each other, as shown in the following figure. A small positively charged particle placed at the midpoint between the plates experiences an electric force of magnitude F. If the charged particle were instead placed at location A, close to the positive plate, would the force on the particle be greater than, equal to, or less than F? Use the concept of field lines to justify your answer.
