    Find an expression for the capacitor voltage

    Homework Statement [/B] An uncharged parallel-plate capacitor with spacing d is horizontal. A small bead with mass m and positive charge q is shot straight up from the bottom plate with speed v_0. It reaches maximum height y_max before falling back. Then the capacitor is charged with the bottom...

    What is the potential energy of this group of charges?

    Homework Statement Three electrons form an equilateral triangle 0.800 nm on each side. A proton is at the center of the triangle. Homework Equations U = k[(q_1*q_2)/r] The Attempt at a Solution I tried to use the following equation: k*[(3e^2)/(0.8*10^-9) - (3e^2)/(0.4*10^-9)] I plugged in...
