Question
Consider an electron with 2000 eV of kinetic energy initially traveling horizontally with respect to a
charged conducting plate whose surface charge density is ?. The electric field is uniform and is pointing
upward in the positive y-direction. The magnitude of this field is given by ?? = ???? . Upon entering the field 0
domain, what will be the vertical (downward) deflection of this electron after a horizontal displacement of 2.0 cm? Hint: It is a uniform electric field. Assume a value ? = +4.00 x 10-6 Coulomb/m2.
A) 0.075 m B) 0.02 m C) 0.037 m D) 0.15 m
Explanation / Answer
B) 0.02 m
