| - | ===Assumptions=== | ||
| - | * Point Charge: Allows us to use the electric potential equation, and the problem does not specify anything otherwise. | ||
| - | * Constant charge: Simplifies the value of charge, meaning it is not charging or discharging over time. | ||
| - | * Electric field is constant in accelerator: | ||
| - | * No gravitational effects: Gravity would be another force acting on our charge in this situation, however for simplicity we are not told any mass and neglect gravity for this problem. | ||
| - | * Conservation of energy: No energy is being added or taken out of the system. This means as the charge loses electric potential energy as it leaves the accelerator, | ||
