An electron is released form rest in a region of space where a uniform electric field is present. Joanna claims that its kinetic and potential energies both increase as it moves from its initial position to its final position. Sonya claims that they both decrease. Which one, if either, is correct?
a. Joanna, because the electron moves opposite to the direction of the field. b. Sonya, because the electron moves opposite to the direction of the field. c. Joanna, because the electron moves in the direction of the field. d. Sonya, because the electron moves in the direction of the field. e. Neither, because the kinetic energy increases while the electron moves to a point at a higher potential.

Charge in an Electric Field: A pair of charged conducting plates produces a uniform field of 12,000 N/C, directed to the right, between the plates. The separation of the plates is 40 mm. An electron is projected from plate A, directly toward plate B, with an initial speed of v0 = 2.0 × 107 m/s. What is the speed of the electron as it strikes plate B? (e = 1.6 × 10-19 C, melectron = 9.11 × 10-31 kg) 
A. 1.2 × 107 m/s B. 1.5 × 107 m/s C. 1.8 × 107 m/s D. 2.1 × 107 m/s E. 2.4 × 107 m/s
