The figure below shows an electron passing between two charged
metal plates that create an 85 N/C vertical electric field
perpendicular to the electron’s original horizontal velocity.
(These can be used to change the electron’s direction, such as in
an oscilloscope.) The initial speed of the electron is
2.60×106 m/s, and the horizontal distance it travels in
the uniform field is 4.30 cm. What is its vertical
deflection?
What is the vertical component of its final velocity?
At what angle does it exit? Neglect any edge effects.
