This diagram shows a proton as it moves between two charged parallel plates. The charge on the proton is + 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C.

a. Copy the diagram and draw the electric field between the parallel plates. The force on the proton when it is at position B is 6.4 × 10⁻¹⁴ N.

b. In which direction does the force on the proton act when it is at position B?

c. What will be the magnitude of the force on the proton when it is at position C?

d. Calculate the electric field strength between the plates.

e. Calculate the potential difference between the plates.
