a) Two horizontal plates, aligned 1 cm apart, one above the other, are given equal but opposite charges so that a uniform, upward electric field of 2kN/C exists in the space between them. A particle with a mass of 2e-16 kg and a charge of 1 microC leaves the bottom plate at 0.1 Mm/s at an angle of 30 degrees relative to the horizontal. What horizontal displacement does the particle experience before landing? b) The charged particle in the previous...

Two horizontal, parallel conductors are connected to each other at the left end via an ammeter of internal resistance of r = 2 Ω. A conductor of length L = 0.5 m, resistance R = 8 Ω and mass m = 5 kg can slide (no friction) along the horizontal rails. The whole system is inside a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 2 T and direction perpendicular to the plane formed by the two parallel conductors (i.e., pointing into the...
