What is the force on a proton placed between two parallel plates containing equal
positive charges:
Answers
Explanation:
Explanation:If the negative charges on the two plates are equal, then there is theoretically no net force on the proton. That is the funny thing about an infinite plate in three dimensions: the force it exerts, whether by electric charge or gravitation, is independent of distance. If there are two plates with the same charge (or mass density if we are talking about gravity) then the forces they exert between them are equal and opposite everywhere.

Also because of edge effects, if the proton is nearer one plate than the other, there will be a net force toward the nearer plate.

Then, the microscopic structure of the plates becomes important; the plates have more negative than positive charge, hence an excess of electrons over protons. Consequently, when the proton comes in contact with the plate it will bind with one of the electrons to form an atom of neutral hydrogen.

It may drift away from the plate, but if the plate is metallic the atom is rather likely to form a hydride with the plate.
Answer:
Explanation:
Proton:
The positively charged particles called protons are found in the atom's nucleus.
Protons, electrons, and neutrons make up an atom. The nucleus, which is in the middle, contains all of an atom's mass. Protons and neutrons, collectively referred to as nucleons, are found in the nucleus. The orbits of electrons around the nucleus are circular.
Electrons have a negative charge, neutrons have no charge, and protons are positively charged particles. There are exactly as many protons as electrons in an atom. An atom is therefore electrically neutral in nature.
Since there will be no field between two infinite plates at the same voltage, there will be no force at all. The proton will be pushed away from finite plates that exhibit field divergence near to the borders.
