6. Which of the following best describes the motion of a negatively chargeed particle after it has been injected between the plates of a charged, parallel-plate capacitor? (Note: area between is a vacuum)
a) it moves with constant speed towards the positive plate
b) it moves with constant speed towards the negative plate
c) it accelerates toward the positive plate
d) it accelerates toward negative plate
I put a), but the answer is c). I thought the speed is constant in vacuum. Can someone please explain?
