Potential difference and power — practice question

A particle carrying charge $q$ and mass $m$ is initially stationary in a uniform electric field. This field is created by two parallel metal plates a distance $d$ apart and with a potential difference $V$ across them. What is an expression for the acceleration of the charged particle?

  • A$\frac{md}{qV}$
  • B$\frac{mV}{qd}$
  • C$\frac{qd}{mV}$
  • D$\frac{qV}{md}$
