A uniform electric field of magnitude 1.0 102 NC- exists between two conducting plates, one of which is positively charged and the other of which is negatively charged. The plates are 1.0 x 10-2 m apart. (i) Calculate the magnitude of the potential difference between the plates. (ii) If a proton is moved from the positive plate to the negative plate, what is the magnitude of the change in its electrostatic potential energy? (iii) If this device operates as a capacitor, how is it able to store electrostatic potential energy?
