Problem 19.101 The figure shows an electron entering a parallel-plate capacitor with a speed of 5.9 Problem 19.101 The figure shows an electron entering a parallel-plate capacitor with a speed of 5.9 Problem 19.101 The figure shows an electron entering a parallel-plate capacitor with a speed of 5.9 The figure shows an electron entering a parallel-plate capacitor with a speed of 5.9 The figure shows an electron entering a parallel-plate capacitor with a speed of 5.9 Problem 19.101 The figure shows an electron entering a parallel-plate capacitor with a speed of 5.9Explanation / Answer
time taken to cross the plates, t = d/v = 0.025/5.9*10^6 = 4.237*10^-9 s
deflection in y direction,
y = 0.5*a*t^2
a = 2*y/t^2
= 2*0.00618/(4.237*10^-9)^2
= 6.89*10^14 m/s^2
we know, Fe = q*E
m*a = q*E
E = m*a/q
= 9.1*10^-31*6.89*10^14/1.6*10^-19
= 3918.7 N/c
B) vx = 5.9*10^6 m/s
vy = a*t = 6.89*10^14*4.237*10^-9 = 2.919*10^6 m/s
v = sqrt(vx^2+vy^2) = 6.583*10^6 m/s
