The separation of the plates is 40 mm. In the figure, an electron is projected from plate A, directly toward plate B, with an initial velocity of 20 x 107 m/s. The velocity of the electron as it strikes plate B is closest to: (a) 1.8 x 107 m/s (b) 1.5 × 107 m/s (c) 21 × 107 m/s (d) 2.4 × 107 m/s (e) 1.2 × 107 m/s Expert Answer Was this answer hepfu? s General guidance O Type here to search 8 4Explanation / Answer
Ans)
Force on charge q in an electric field E is F=qE
Force on electron =-1.6x10-19Cx12000
F=-1.92x10-15
The field is positive (to the right) so the force on the electron is negative (to the left).
F=ma, so a = F/m.
Acceleration of electron a =( -1.92x10-15)/(9.1 x 10-31)
= -2.10x1015 m/s2
The electron has:
initial velocity, vo = 2.0x107m/s
acceleration, a =-2.10x1015 m/s2
and has displacement s = 40mm = 0.04m
vf² = vo² +2as
= (2.0x107)² +( 2 x (-2.10x1015 ) x 0.04)
= 2.32x1014
vf =(2.32x1014)
vf= 1.5x107m/s so answer is option b
