charge used 2e gain in KE = 15 × 1.6 × 10–19 × 103 = 2 × 1.6 × 10–19 × V (p.d.across plates) or F (= W / d) = 15 × 1.6 × 10–19 × 103 / 16 × 10–3 (hence V = 7500 V or F = 1.5 × 10–13 N) E = V / d or E = F / Q E = (7500 / 16 × 10–3) or E = (1.5 × 10–13 / 3.2 × 10–19) E = 4.7 × 105 (468 750) V m–1 [4]
