Current Attempt in Progress An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor and accelerates to the positive plate (see the drawing). The plates are separated by a distance of 1.7 cm, and the electric field within the capacitor has a magnitude of 2.1 x 10 V/m. What is the kinetic energy of the electron just as it reaches the positive plate? ~ Electric field + + + Electron + + + + ++ KEpositive = i eTextbook and Media GO Tutorial Save for Later Attempts: 0 of 3 used Submit
