Ive figured out the first parts (a) and (b) but I am stumped on (c).
A parallel plate capacitor is constructed of two 1.0 cm diameter disks which are spaced 1.5 mm apart. The capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 250 V. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field inside the capacitor. (b) Calculate the charge on each plate. (c) Now assume that a proton is shot through a small hole in the negative plate with a speed of 1 X 10^(6) m/s. Does it or does it not reach the other side? If it does not, where is the turning point? Explain your reasoning and approach fully.
