    Suppose that the particle in Exercise in 1.33 is an electron projected with velocity vx= 2.0 × 106 m s-1. If E between the plates separated by 0.5 cm is 9.1 × 102 N/C, where will the electron strike the upper plate? (| e | =1.6 × 10-19 C, me = 9.1 × 10-31 kg.)
    Ans : Velocity of the particle, vx = 2.0 × 106 m/s

    Separation of the two plates, d = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m

    Electric field between the two plates, E = 9.1 × 102 N/C

    Charge on an electron, q = 1.6 × 10-19 C

    Mass of an electron, me = 9.1 × 10-31 kg

    Let the electron strike the upper plate at the end of plate L, when deflection is s.

    Therefore,



    Therefore, the electron will strike the upper plate after travelling 1.6 cm.
