In order to analysis the motion of the test charge in a varying electric field, it is much
easier to use conservation of energy.
The motion of a charged particle in a uniform electric field such as the field inside two
parallel plates is much simpler:

2. A small particle of mass 1.010-5 kg and charge +1.510-5 C is released from rest at
position 1, which has a potential that is 12 V higher than the potential at position 2,
as show in the figure.
a) What will happen to the particle upon release?
b) What is the speed of the particle at position 2?

4. An electron with a speed of 1.2105 m/s enters a region where there is a uniform
electric field with = 500.0 N/C, as shown in the figure below.
a) Prove that gravitational influences can be neglected in this situation.
b) If, after traveling for some distance d in the field, the electron comes to
rest for an instant, in which direction is the field?
c) Calculate d.
