Two flat plates (1 and 2) of area A are parallel to each other and have opposite charge Q and -Q. They are separated by a gap of distance L which is much smaller than the size of the plates. An electron (charge -e and mass m) is expelled from the negative plate (2) with speed v_o. What is the kinetic energy of the electron when it reaches the other plate (1)?
