Two large vertical and parallel metal plates having a separation of 1 cm are connected to a DC voltage source of potential difference . A proton is released at rest midway between the two plates. It is found to move at to the vertical JUST after release. Then is nearly
  1. (A)
  2. (B)
  3. (C)✓ Correct
  4. (D)

Answer: (C)

Solution

For the proton to move at to the vertical just after release, the electric force must equal the gravitational force: . With , we have , so V.
