2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy

In the following figure two parallel metallic plates are maintained at different potential. If an electron is released midway between the plates, it will move

A

Right ward at constant speed

B

Left ward at constant speed

C

Accelerated right ward

D

Accelerated left ward

Solution

(d) Electric field is directed right ward (higher potential of $-200\, V $ to lower potential of $-400\, V$). When electron left free in an electric it accelerates opposite to the electric field. Hence in the given case electron accelerates left ward.
