1. Refer to figure 1. Two equally charged plates, separated by 0.10 m, produces an electric field. A test charge is initially anchored to the positive side and between the plates. What is the electric potential between the two plates? What is the electric potential energy of the positive test charge? What is the velocity of the charge when it reaches the opposite plate, assuming:
· Mass of charge = 0.50 kg
· Mass of charge = 1.0 kg
· Mass of charge = 2.0 kg

1. Refer to figure 1. How would you double the electric potential if you:
· Held the distance between the plates constant
· Held the electric field constant.
2. Draw in the direction of the electric field lines in the parallel plate system.
