Question

An electron is deflected from its path as it travels between two large metal plates. The electron enters the plates with an initial velocity of 1000 m/s directly in the positive x direciton. The separation between the two plates is 4 cm The top plate has a potential of 0 V and the bottom plate has a potential of 10 micro volts. What is the acceleration of the electron?

a) In the x direction m/s2

b) In the y direction m/s2

What is the deflection the electron takes in the y direction before it exits the plates if the plates are .10 m in length?

Explanation / Answer

B) Force=eE=eV/d

acceleration=F/m=eV/dm=4.39*107m/s2

It would be negative value.
