Determining the Speed of a Charge in an Electric Field
PE1=KE2 for an object that starts at rest and ends at the reference.
PE1= ½ mv2 solve for v to obtain the speed of a charge.
An electron starts at the negative terminal of parallel plates with an electric field Intensity of 7200 N/C that are separated by 3.8 cm. What is the speed obtained by the electron at the positive plate?
PE = qEd (Uniform Electric Field) KE = ½ mv2
q= 1.6x10-19 C E= 7200 N/C d=0.038 m me= 9.11x10-31 kg
PE= (1.6x10-19C)(7200 N/C)(.038 m) = 4.4x10-17 J
PE=KE4.4x10-17 J = ½(9.11x10-31 kg)v2
v=9.8x106 m/s

The Work-Energy Theorem
• W=ΔKE
• W=KE2-KE1
• If the charge object starts from rest, then
W=KE2

Electric Potential (Voltage) • The electrical potential energy per unit charge.• The work per unit charge to move the charge a
distance from a reference.• The electric field’s relative capacity of giving a
charge electrical potential energy at a specific location in an electric field.
